The Indian Space Research Organisation is in the final stages of preparation for the Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon. India ready to create milestone on moon.
This ambitious mission follows the Chandrayaan-2 mission. Four years ago Chandrayan 2 lander crashed on the Moon’s surface.
Currently, the integration of Chandrayaan-3 with the GSLV Mk-III rocket is underway, but the Indian space agency has yet to announce the final launch date for this momentous mission.
ISRO chief S Somnath has expressed his intention to stick to this timeline for the mission’s lift-off between July 12 and July 19. The precise launch date will be disclosed in the coming days.
According to ISRO, the Chandrayaan-3 lander and rover have been engineered to function for a single lunar daylight period, which roughly translates to about 14 Earth days.
Chandrayaan-2 had a comparable mission duration before it encountered a mishap on the far side of the Moon. While Chandrayaan-3 is designed for a 14-day duration, it is possible that the mission could surpass this timeframe.
ISRO has gained recognition for executing challenging missions with extended operational lifespans, high reliability, and significant scientific breakthroughs.
