India will achieve a unique milestone in space technology as soon as the Lander lands on the moon's surface. The success of the space mission will have a huge impact on the Indian economy as well
The unsung heroes of Chandrayaan-3 will soon mark India's footprints on the moon's surface. Here is the list of people who will make the Chandrayaan-3 mission possible
Chandrayaan-3 latest news: India will attempt its first successful lunar landing at 6:04 pm today
Chandrayaan-3 will land on the moon's surface today at 6.04 pm. The final fifteen minutes are the most crucial period and that will determine the success of the mission
Chandrayaan-3 moon landing: PM Narendra Modi, who is in South Africa for the 15th Brics Summit, will attend the event virtually
Isro director says that in case of unfavourable conditions, the Chandrayaan-3 landing can be postponed to August 27. People across the country are performing 'Havan' for the mission's success
Chandrayaan-3 landing date: If everything goes by the book, India will land on the South Pole of the Moon, a feat no nation has ever achieved
If Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander lands on the South Pole of the Moon on August 23, Isro will become the first space agency to do so
Here are ten interesting facts you didn't know about ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 mission, which took off successfully on July 14
Chandrayaan-3 location: On Wednesday, the Chandrayaan-3 mission hit another mark when its spacecraft successfully underwent a fifth and final lunar-bound orbit manoeuvre
Aditya-L1, the first space-based Indian observatory to study the Sun, is getting ready for its launch soon, ISRO said on Monday. The satellite, realised at U R Rao Satellite Centre here, has arrived at the ISRO's spaceport in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, the Bengaluru-headquartered national space agency said in an update on the mission. "Mostly September first week," an ISRO official told PTI when asked about the date of the launch. The spacecraft is expected to be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrange point 1 (L1) of the Sun-Earth system, which is about 1.5 million kilometres from the Earth. A satellite placed in the halo orbit around the L1 point has a major advantage of continuously viewing the Sun without any occultation/eclipses, ISRO noted. "This will provide a greater advantage of observing the solar activities and its effect on space weather in real time," it said. The spacecraft carries seven payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layer
A successful mission would mean India becomes only the fourth country to accomplish the challenge, after the USA, China, and the former Soviet Union
Here is the timeline of the moon mission as undertaken by the Indian Space Research Organisation. August 15, 2003: Then Prime Minister, the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee announces the Chandrayaan programme. October 22, 2008: Chandrayaan-1 takes off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota. November 8, 2008: Chandrayaan-1 enters a Lunar Transfer Trajectory. November 14, 2008: The Moon impact probe ejects from Chandrayaan-1 and crashes near the lunar South Pole -- confirming the presence of water molecules on Moon's surface. August 28, 2009: End of Chandrayaan 1 programme as per ISRO. July 22, 2019: Chandrayaan-2 launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. August 20, 2019: Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft inserted into lunar orbit. September 2, 2019: Vikram Lander was separated while orbiting the moon in a 100kms lunar polar orbit, however, communication from the lander to the ground stations was lost at an altitude of 2.1 km from the surface of the moon. July 14, 2023:
Chandrayaan-3 will be launched by ISRO on Friday at 2.35 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. It is India's third lunar mission aimed to conduct in-situ scientific experiments
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is slated to launch at 2.35 pm on July 14, with the lander anticipated to soft-land on the Moon on August 23 or 24
The spacecraft will lift off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 2:35 pm, Isro said
ISRO has announced the launch of Chandrayaan-3 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The exact launch date is yet to be finalised
The Chandrayaan-3 has undergone rigorous testing and validation processes to reduce risks and ensure mission success
The first abort mission for India's maiden human spaceflight 'Gaganyaan' would be conducted at the end of August this year, while the unmanned mission to orbit would take place next year, Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), S Somanath, said here on Thursday. Talking to media-persons on the sidelines of an event at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) here, he said the test vehicle is ready at Sriharikota and the assembly work of the crew module and crew escape system has also begun. "For Gaganyaan, the first and foremost thing is that the abort mission has to be done. For that, we have made a new rocket called a test vehicle, which is ready at Sriharikota. Assemblies of the crew module and crew escape system are just getting ready," Somanath told reporters when asked about the latest update on Gaganyaan. "So I am informed that this month-end it will go for a fully functional testing, vibration testing, etc. So we are hoping that in August-end or so we will .
The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission is aimed at showing critical technologies to land the spacecraft on the south pole of the moon in less than two months
