ISRO to launch Chandrayaan-3 aboard LVM-3 on July 14

Bengaluru: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday announced that the Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission will take place on July 14.

The spacecraft will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 2:35 pm.

ISRO transported the spacecraft, encapsulated aboard the rocket, to the launchpad prior to the announcement.

The original launch date was set for July 13, but it has not been revised.

S Somnath, the Chief of ISRO, stated that the launch window will remain open until July 19.

If the launch cannot occur on the scheduled date, it can be rescheduled for a backup date within this timeframe.

Somnath expressed confidence in the mission's success, emphasizing the goal of achieving a soft landing on the Moon this time.

Chandrayaan-3 marks the third mission in the Chandrayaan series and represents India's second attempt to achieve a gentle landing on the lunar surface.

Only three countries have successfully achieved this feat thus far.

The spacecraft, equipped with a lander and a rover, will embark on a journey of nearly two months to reach the Moon.

It will first enter lunar orbit before initiating the landing approach.

ISRO has confirmed that the lander has the capability to safely land at a designated lunar site and deploy the rover.

The rover will then conduct an on-site chemical analysis of the lunar surface during its mobility.
