Coordinates 69.3741°S, 32.32°E, 532 m elevation per LROC. Launch 2023-07-14 09:05 UTC per the JPL Horizons header (-158). Landing 18:04 IST (12:34 UTC) per the Government of India (Consulate General, Vladivostok) release crediting ISRO; the JPL Horizons header gives 12:32 UTC, so the touchdown minute is uncertain by about 2 minutes. Sleep-mode time: around 08:00 IST on 4 Sep 2023 per All India Radio. The lander did not respond after the next lunar sunrise; no end date was formally published, so end_utc is omitted. atlas_deep_link is for map display; the Atlas south-polar grid reaches only about 79.3°S.
