Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third lunar exploration mission and it will make India the fourth country after US, China, and Russia, to land its spacecraft on the surface of the moon
Chandrayaan 3 launch: Chandrayaan-2 had failed in its lunar phase when its lander 'Vikram' crashed into the surface of the moon following anomalies in the braking system in the lander while attempting a soft landing on September 7, 2019. Chandrayaan's maiden mission was in 2008.
Veeramuthuvel, who has a strong fascination with complicated equipment work, got a potential chance to turn into a researcher at the Indian Space Exploration Association (ISRO) in 1989.
ISRO scripted history with the launch of the third edition of India’s Moon mission Chandrayaan-3 on Friday afternoon in Sriharikota. If India gets success in the mission, it would become only the fourth country to achieve the feat after the United States, China, and the erstwhile USSR.
The Chandrayaan-3 was launched into space by the Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM-III) which was earlier known as GSLV-III (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Marks-III). It was also used to launch Chandrayaan-2.
Chandrayaan-3 is set to be launched today from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. It is scheduled to be launched at 2.35 pm
The lander payloads are Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) to measure the thermal conductivity and temperature; the Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) for measuring the seismicity around the landing site; Langmuir Probe (LP) to estimate the plasma density.
India's Chandrayaan-3 is all set to embark on its lunar journey on July 14 by LVM3-M4 rocket from Sriharikota's Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
With the successful preparatory tests, ISRO is optimistic about the upcoming launch of Chandrayaan 3 which is scheduled to take place on July 14 at 2.35 PM (IST).
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to launch Chandrayaan-3 on July 14, 2023. This highly anticipated mission serves as the successor to Chandrayaan-2 and aims to land a lander and rover near the Moon's south pole.
Chandrayaan-3 launch represents a significant stride for India's space exploration goals, showcasing technological prowess and advancing lunar research. Successful completion will bolster India's global standing in space and lay the foundation for future lunar missions.
ISRO rocket carrying Chandrayaan-3, which is scheduled to be launched on July 14, was shifted to the launchpad at Sri Harikota.
Chandrayaan-3 will carry scientific instruments to study unexplored important aspects of the Moon.
ISRO Moon Mission: Chandrayaan-3 integrated with launch vehicle
Chandrayaan-3 mission update: Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.
This is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. It has a lander and rover configuration.
The Artemis Accords, established in 2020, is a non-binding, practical set of principles that are used to guide space exploration cooperation among nations and aims to extend space exploration to Mars and beyond. There were 25 signatories upto May 2023 including Australia, Italy, Japan and Canada.
Speaking to the media after inaugurating a one-day workshop and space exhibition at Kothavara St Xavier's College organised by ISRO, Somanath said that the Chandrayaan has already reached the launch pad in Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, from U R Rao Satellite Centre.
The densest alien planet, 13 times larger than Jupiter, has been discovered by an international group of researchers led by Professor Abhijit Chakraborty of the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad.
