According to the PTI report, Chandrayaan-3 will be launched with the help of LVM-M4 rocket. ISRO is gearing up in full swing at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh to successfully launch the mission. If all goes according to plan, the ‘soft landing’ on the lunar surface is scheduled for late August.
Significantly, in the year 2019, the Chandrayaan-2 mission could not land safely on the lunar surface. The entire ISRO team was shocked by this. The then ISRO chief K. Sivan became emotional and was comforted by a hug from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Now ISRO scientist Satish Dhawan is again busy with full preparations at the space center. If India succeeds in its mission, it will become the fourth country in this list after the US, China and the Soviet Union.
This is India’s third Moon mission, aimed at successfully landing Chandrayaan on the Moon and proving its maneuverability capabilities. The rocket with the help of which Chandrayaan will be launched is fondly called ‘Fat Boy’ by ISRO scientists. This ‘Fat Boy’ has completed 6 consecutive successful missions.
According to the report, the mission is being launched in July because the Earth and the Moon are very close to each other at this time of the year. On Tuesday, ISRO also completed the launch rehearsal related to the mission. In the rehearsal that lasted for 24 hours, all those things were done apart from flying the rocket, which would happen on Friday.
