Science and Technology, ISRO, Chandrayaan 3

 The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has triumphantly announced that Chandrayaan-3, India's third moon mission, is on its way. It is projected to reach the Moon by the end of August if all goes as planned.

The three-week journey will come to an end with the landing, which is expected around August 23. Once achieved, India will join an elite group of nations that have made a soft landing on the Moon, which currently includes the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China.


The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) conducted the fourth orbit-raising manoeuvre (earth-bound perigee firing) of the Chandrayaan-3 project on Thursday.


According to ISRO, Chandrayaan-3 has reached its planned orbit of 71351 km x 233 km.

The Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM-3) successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre's second launch pad in Sriharikota at 2.35 p.m. on July 14 and placed it in an elliptic parking orbit of 36,500 km x 170 km.


The first four orbit-raising manoeuvres have already been accomplished, and the next firing is scheduled for July 25 between 2 and 3 p.m. IST.
