Chandrayaan-3
India lunar exploration mission Chandrayaan-3 to be launched shortly, Narendra Modi describes it 'remarkable'
New Delhi/Sriharikota: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch its third lunar exploration mission, Chandrayaan-3, on Friday.
It will be launched on Friday at 2:35 pm on a Launch Vehicle Mark-3 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
The primary objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are threefold, first, to demonstrate Safe and Soft Landing on the Lunar surface; second, to demonstrate Rover roving on the moon; and third is to conduct in-situ scientific experiments.
Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission of Chandrayaan-2 and is aimed at demonstrating India’s capability in soft landing and roving on the surface of the Moon or the Lunar surface.
Chandrayaan-2 was launched on September 6, 2019, but it could not yield the desired result.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi was personally present at Srihari Kota to witness the event.
