The official launch date for the Chandrayaan 3 mission is yet to be announced by ISRO. However, the recent flight rehearsal indicates that the mission is progressing well and is on track for a successful launch. The launch is expected to take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, India. This spaceport has been the site of numerous successful ISRO missions in the past, including the Chandrayaan 2 mission.
- This marks the fourth operational flight of LVM3
- Chandrayaan-3 will attempt a soft landing on the Moon
- Chandrayaan-3 is expected to reach the Moon by the end of August
ISRO's Chandrayaan 3 mission marks a significant milestone in India's space exploration journey. It builds upon the achievements of the previous Chandrayaan missions, particularly Chandrayaan 2, which included an orbiter, lander, and rover. While the Chandrayaan 2 lander (Vikram) had a hard landing, the mission was still considered a major technological feat and provided valuable data for future missions.
Chandrayaan 3 aims to rectify the shortcomings of Chandrayaan 2 and successfully land a rover on the lunar surface. ISRO's meticulous planning, thorough testing, and collaborative efforts with national and international partners have contributed to the progress of the mission.
Chandrayaan 3 marks the third lunar exploration mission by ISRO, following the successful Chandrayaan 1 and Chandrayaan 2 missions. While Chandrayaan 1 focused on orbiting the Moon and conducting scientific experiments, Chandrayaan 2 aimed to land a rover on the lunar surface. Although the lander component of Chandrayaan 2 experienced an unfortunate setback, ISRO is determined to bounce back with Chandrayaan 3.
