ISRO’s prestigious Chandrayaan 3 will fly into Ningi tomorrow. The countdown for this experiment started on Thursday afternoon.

 

Sullurpet: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has set the stage for the Chandrayaan-3 (Chandrayaan-3) launch to explore Jabilli. The countdown to the launch began at 1.05 pm on Thursday at the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SHAR) in Sriharikota, Tirupati district. This countdown will last for about 25 hours. The LVM3-M4 rocket will blast off from the second launch pad at 2:35:13 pm on Friday.

This is the third launch in the Chandrayaan series. The launch will be carried out by the heavy carrier LVM3-M4. This satellite is connected with the lander and rover propulsion module. About 3,84,000 km. It will travel and reach the orbit of 100 kilometers above the moon. After that, Jabilli will land at a designated location in the South Pole, ISRO said. It does not send an arbiter. The orbiter launched in Chandrayaan 2 is orbiting the moon. ISRO has so far revealed that it will be used now.

ISRO has already revealed that steps have been taken this time for soft landing on Moon Mission. Chandrayaan-3 has been designed by analyzing the past failure and overcoming it (Failure Based Design). It said that despite the unexpected problem, the lander successfully landed on the moon. ISRO said that it has selected a wider area as the target for landing this time. Chandrayaan-3 has been boosted with fuel capacity so that it can reach an alternate landing site if required, it said.

So far, USA, Russia and China have successfully landed their spacecraft on the surface of the moon. India is trying to become the fourth country to achieve this milestone. As a part of this, Chandrayaan-2 (Chandrayaan-3) was launched in 2019 with the aim of discovering the South Pole of the Moon. However, it failed during the soft landing on the lunar surface. Earlier.. in 2008 Chandrayaan-1 (attempt with orbiter and impactor without lander) was undertaken. If the latest Chandrayaan 3 mission is successful, it will be a key step in India’s space research..!
