Chandrayaan-3: After the launch of Chandrayaan-3, people are very curious to know where it reached. People want to know even the smallest details about Chandrayaan-3. But tonight is very important for Chandrayaan-3. He is going to take a quantum leap in space. Chandrayaan-3 will leave the earth's orbit and step towards the moon on August 1 between 12 and 1 am. Chandrayaan-3 will take just 6 days to reach the moon's orbit. At present, ISRO will complete the process of Chandrayaan-3 at midnight today, which will take 28 to 31 minutes.

Apart from this, the thrusters fitted in Chandrayaan-3 will also be fired keeping in view the time and distance. Chandrayaan-3 is circling the earth in a long circular orbit. Its speed is between one km per second and 10.3 km per second. Now to go ahead this vehicle will need fast velocity.

What will he do tonight?

When the vehicle has to be sent on a new path, it needs more velocity. To go to the moon, the angle of Chandrayaan-3 will also have to be changed. ISRO will start the process of changing the path of Chandrayaan tonight. It will start 5 or 6 hours before the thrusters are to be fired. Chandrayaan's velocity will be increased by thrusters. The distance between the Moon and the Earth is about 3.8 lakh km. Chandrayaan will cover a distance of 1.2 lakh km in 51 hours. However, the distance between the moon and the earth may change someday depending on the position.

Chandrayaan-2 had a crash landing

Chandrayaan's arrival in the Moon's orbit is also a part of the Moon mission. In 2019, the crash landing of Chandrayaan-2 took place. He had lost contact. However, when Chandrayaan-3 will reach the moon's orbit, even after that it will do many maneuvers. On August 17, the landing module will be separated by taking it to an altitude of about 100 km. After this, Chandrayaan-3 will land on the chest of the Moon on 23 August. Please tell that on July 14, India launched Chandrayaan-3.
