The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has said that its lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 will be launched on July 14 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh and launched on July 14 at 2:35. ISRO’s new heavy-lift launch vehicle LVM-3 will carry out the Moon mission.
Chandrayaan-3, a sequel to Chandrayaan-2, aims to demonstrate the capability of a soft landing on the Moon by delivering a lander and a rover to the lunar surface. The Chandrayaan-2 mission ended on September 6, 2019. So far, only three countries have managed to land on the Moon. This includes the US, the erstwhile Soviet Union and China.
Will Be Launched With The Most Powerful Rocket
LVM-3, or Launch Vehicle Mark-III, is a three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle developed by ISRO and was earlier known as GSLV Mark III. It is the most powerful rocket of the space agency and will be used to launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
This vehicle is 43.5 meters long, and its diameter is 4 meters. It can carry a payload of up to 8,000 kg in low earth orbit. Going even further, it can carry around 4,000 kilograms of payload to the Geostationary Transfer Orbit.
Its cryogenic upper stage is powered by the CE-20, which according to ISRO, is India’s largest cryogenics engine. It also uses two S200 rocket boosters to provide the thrust required for takeoff. The core stage is powered by two L110 liquid-stage development rockets.
When and How To Watch Live?
Testing of LVM3-M4 and Chandrayaan-3 has been completed. Those wishing to watch the launch live from the Launch View Gallery at the Satish Dhawan Space Center can register at ivg.shar.gov.in/.
Explain that new equipment has been made for the success of the Chandrayaan mission. The algorithms have been further improved in this mission. The landing site of the Chandrayaan-3 mission is called the ‘Dark Side Of Moon’ as this part does not come in front of the Earth.
