Chandrayaan-3: India has taken another big leap in space today. Today ISRO has launched Chandrayaan-3, its third mission to the Moon. Chandrayaan-3 has been launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. The GSLV Mark-3 rocket, called the Fat Boy of ISRO, is taking Chandrayaan into space. Chandrayaan-3 will land on the lunar surface exactly 41 days from today, between August 24 and 25, circling first in Earth's orbit and then in Moon's orbit.

Chandrayaan-3 is going to the moon with a lander, a rover and a propulsion module. Its total weight is around 3,900 kg. ISRO chief S Somnath was seen monitoring the launch of Chandrayaan-3 moon mission in Sriharikota.

The eyes of the whole world on India's Chandrayaan-3

The eyes of the whole world are focused on this mission of Indian scientists. This is the second attempt by Indian scientists to land on the lunar surface. If India succeeds in landing on the surface of the moon, then it will become the fourth country in the world after America, Russia and China to achieve this success. It will also become the first country to land on the Moon's South Pole. This is the same area where Chandrayaan-2's lander Vikram crashed just a short distance from the lunar surface. That's why today the eyes of the whole world are fixed on us.

Chandrayaan-3 is also ready for crash landing

This time, taking lessons from the previous crash landing, ISRO scientists have made many changes in it. New sensors have been installed in the lander in many ways. Its weight is also around 250 kg. The lander's legs are stronger than ever. That's why it is expected that India will definitely be successful in hoisting the tricolor on the surface of the moon.

Bahubali rocket carrying Chandrayaan-3 to the moon

Upgraded Bahubali rocket ie Launch Vehicle Mark-3 is being used to take Chandrayaan-3 into space. Within 17 minutes of launch, Chandrayaan will reach the Earth's orbit, from where it will go around the Earth and leave for the Moon. From there its examination will start. After this, the biggest test will be on the night of 24 August when it will land on the moon.

Historic moment of Chandrayaan-3 launch

India launched Chandrayaan-2 mission in the year 2019, then this mission failed during soft landing. Now after four years, ISRO has again taken steps to fulfill its dream through Chandrayaan-3. After staying in space for about 42 days, Chandrayaan-3 will be able to reach the moon.
