Watch Live : ISRO to launch Chandrayaan-3 Mission
- India is all set to launch its third mission to the moon, named “Chandrayaan-3”, on July 14, 2023, at 2:35 pm.
- If the lander and rover is successfully launched, India will become the fourth country, after the United States, Russia, and China, to achieve the feat.
- Chandrayaan-3 will be launched from Satish Dhawan space centre of Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
- It will fly to space aboard the medium-lift Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM3) rocket.
- The mission and launch are managed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and is being led by Ritu Karidhal Srivastava, famously known as India’s ‘rocket woman’.
- This mission is a follow-up to the 2019 Chandrayaan-2 mission, which failed partially as its lander and rover couldn’t execute a soft-landing on the Moon.
- The three main objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are:
- to land safely on the surface,
- to demonstrate rover operations and
- to perform scientific experiments on site
