Chandrayaan-3 successfully takes off from Sriharikota:
Chandrayaan-3 successfully takes off from Sriharikota, further propelling India's space exploration efforts to new heights. The GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle lifted off successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota as per the scheduled launch time.
Expected landing date:
The journey from Earth to the moon for the spacecraft is estimated to take about a month and the landing is expected on August 23. Upon landing, it will operate for one lunar day, which is approximately 14 Earth days. One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth. Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar exploration mission, will make India the fourth country after US, China, and Russia, to land its spacecraft on the surface of the moon and demonstrate the country’s abilities for safe and soft landing on the lunar surface.
Cost of Chandrayaan 3 project:
The cost of the Chandrayaan 3 project is around Rs 600 crore.Chandrayaan-3, the word for “moon craft" in Sanskrit, took off from a launch pad in Sriharikota in Odisha with an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. The spacecraft was launched on a GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle.
Objectives of Chandrayaan-3:
The ISRO's Chandrayaan -3, the third attempt by India to reach the moon has jetted off for the moon with certain objectives. These include-
*To demonstrate a Safe and Soft Landing on Lunar Surface.
*To demonstrate Rover roving on the moon and.
*To conduct in-situ scientific experiments.
*Gather data on the polarization of light reflected by Earth.
*Measure the density of ions and electrons near the surface of the Moon and its changes over time.
*Measure the temperature of the moon’s surface near the polar region.
*Scan for moonquakes around the landing site, delineating the structure of the lunar crust and mantle.
*Understand the dynamics of the Moon system.
A successful landing would make India the fourth country:
A successful landing would make India the fourth country — after the United States, the Soviet Union, and China — to achieve the feat. The Chandrayaan-3 is set to embark on a journey lasting slightly over a month before landing on the moon’s surface later in August.
Chandryaan-3’s path will be similar to that of Chandrayaan-2. It will consist of three stages — Earth orbit maneuvers, Trans-lunar injection, and Lunar orbit maneuvers. After the Chandrayaan-3 completes the three stages, the lander separates from the propulsion module, enters an orbit closer to the moon, and begins soft-landing.
