Chandrayaan-3 Launch

The Mission is expected to last for one lunar night…

On Friday, 14 July 2023, at 2.35 pm, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to launch its third lunar mission—Chandrayaan-3, from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

With the aim of landing on the southern pole of the moon, the mission's success will make India the fourth nation to do this.

The entire mission is expected to last for one lunar night, which is equivalent to 14 days on Earth. In addition, the Chandrayaan-3 will land on the moon's surface around August 23 or 24.

ISRO Chairman S Somnath said, “The main lacuna in the last Chandrayaan-2 mission was that there were off-nominal conditions that were initiated in the system. Everything was not nominal.

And the craft was not able to handle the off-nominal condition for a safe landing.” In case you don't know, Chandrayaan-2 failed in 2019, when it attempted to land on the surface of the moon.

Everyone is waiting to witness the history being created.
