Chandrayaan 3: The ambitious Chandrayaan-3 project from the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will go to the Moon to study the lunar environment and geology as well as try a gentle landing. By making India the fourth nation in history to set foot on the moon’s surface, Chandrayaan-3 will endeavour to make its mark on history. Only the US, Russia, and China have been able to complete this significant phase of space exploration thus far.
Key Details of Chandrayaan-3’s Launch and Mission Objectives
The Chandrayaan-3 mission will blast off to the Moon on the Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM-3) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota’s second launch pad. On July 14, at 2:35 p.m., the spacecraft will launch to begin its lunar trip, which will take it roughly 3,84,000 kilometres from Earth. The Chandrayaan-3 mission has equipment to investigate the elements composition close to the landing site, lunar seismicity, lunar surface plasma environment, and the thermophysical properties of the lunar regolith. The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft performed the necessary tests to verify its ability to resist the extreme vibration and acoustic conditions it would experience during launch in March of this year.
ISRO Sends Chandrayaan-3 Model for Prayers
To make prayers, an ISRO science team sent a scale model of Chandrayaan-3 to Tirupati Venkatachalapathy Temple in Andhra Pradesh. This will be ISRO’s follow-up attempt, as Chandrayaan-2’s soft landing in 2019 encountered difficulties. The Vikram lunar lander crashed into the Moon during the early hours, ending the mission. If the launch takes place on July 14, Chandrayaan-3 should arrive at the Moon at the end of August. By August 23 or 24, the spacecraft could have travelled to the Moon for 45–48 days. Isro will start the landing sequence after entering lunar orbit, which will involve the mission disengaging from the Propulsion Module and the lander-rover combo landing on the lunar surface. The launch of Chandrayaan-3, according to Minister of State for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh, will increase the level of India’s international cooperation, especially those with the United States. He said that, “I have the confidence to say that the launch of Chandrayaan-3 is going to raise the level of India’s international collaborations including that between India and the US.”
