BySwarajya Staff

National Geographic will be broadcasting a live show based on Indian Space Research (ISRO) Chandrayaan 2, uncovering the touchdown of its lander, reports Television Post. The show will give its viewers unprecedented access to India’s most ambitious space mission.

The live show is scheduled from September, around the same dates when Chandrayaan 2 would land on the moon. The show will slowly drum up excitement by giving viewers deeper insights into the historic moment.

According to the schedule, the ‘Baahubali’ Chandrayaan 2 is set to attempt to soft-land Vikram (lander) and Pragyan (rover) on the moon’s unexplored South Polar Region on 7 September. National Geographic will be sharing live updates from the ISRO’s command centre as soft landing is attempted.

The show is set to be an interplay of live coverage as well as pre-shot stories narrating the iconic nature of the mission. The show will also include interviews with experts of the field, surrounding India’s second mission to the moon.
