A new chapter has been added to space science. On July 14 (Friday) India launched its third mission to the Moon; Chandrayaan-3 started its journey with an aim to soft land on the surface of Earth’s only natural satellite. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched Chandrayaan-3 from 2nd launch pad, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh at 2:35 PM on July 14 as scheduled. Chandrayaan 3 is loaded with LVM 3 M4 rocket.
Chandrayaan-3 is the 3rd lunar exploration mission ready for takeoff in the fourth operational mission (M4) of LVM3 launcher. The Chandrayaan -3 mission is to demonstrate India’s growing technical capabilities in the field and conduct a successful soft landing on the moon. According to ISRO, three stages of the launch have been completed.
If everything goes well, it will give information about the temperature regime on the lunar surface. X-rays and lasers attached to the science rover will transmit data on the composition of the lunar surface. Chandrayaan 2, launched in 2019, made a hard landing instead of a soft landing. So many errors have been corrected and changed in Chandrayaan 3. The design of the lander has been further developed. The entire process in space will last about 42 days. After the successful launch of Chandrayaan, ISRO Chairman S. Somnath congratulated the people of the country and thanked the scientists.
