Great news! Looking forward very much to a successful flight. Maybe when the launch happens we will learn the names given to the lander and rover.

Phil it appears at least the lander is being referred simply as 'Chandrayaan-3 lander' this time.
https://www.isro.gov.in/chandrayaan3_gallery.html Previously for Chandrayaan-2, the label on lander read as 'Vikram Chandrayaan-2' |

Thanks. I hope we see a successful landing, and that you will be able to share links to things in the Indian media that we might not find ourselves.

They'll retain the names of lander and rover!
QUOTE The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to retain the names of the Chandrayaan-2 lander and rover for their Chandrayaan-3 equivalents as well, Chairman of the space agency S. Somanath told The Hindu. This means, the Chandrayaan-3 lander will bear the name ‘Vikram’ (after Vikram Sarabhai, the father of the Indian space programme) and the rover, ‘Pragyan’. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kera...cle67008553.ece |

Thanks for this. So not Vikram 2 and Pragyan 2, as they could have chosen. I seem to recall at the time of Chandrayaan 2 that there was a plan to name the landing site as well, but it was never done because the landing was not successful. I hope this one is successful!

It took until late yesterday for Spaceflight Now to finally put this launch on their schedule. I tried for two weeks to notify them by email, but the address they gave to report updates kept coming back as "undeliverable".
