Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, July 6, Jankranti News,: — ISRO will launch Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on 13th of this month.  The work related to this experiment has been accelerated.  The Chandrayaan payload capsule was connected with the GSLV rocket today.  Today, ISRO posted the video on its Twitter account.  The rocket will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Center in Sriharikota.  Chandrayaan capsule was docked with LVM-3 at Satish Dhawan Centre, ISRO said.  With this almost all the important work of Chandrayaan-3 is over.  The critical task is to attach the payload to the heavy rocket.

Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft weighs about 3,900 kg.  First UR Rao capsuled the payload at the Satellite Center.  After that it was moved to the Satish Dhawan Center in a special vehicle.  There the payload was attached to the rocket.  ISRO Chairman S.Somnath said that Chandrayaan 3 will be launched on 13th or 19th of this month if everything goes well.

The payload on top of the rocket consists of a lander and a rover.  The propulsion module in it will take the spacecraft to a distance of about 100 kilometers to the moon.  ISRO officials said that the lander will land safely at the designated location, after which the rover will carry out chemical analysis there.

So far the US, Russia and China have successfully landed their spacecraft on the surface of the moon.  India is trying to become the fourth country to achieve this milestone.  As a part of this, Chandrayaan-2 was launched in 2019 with the aim of discovering the South Pole of the Moon.  However, it failed during the soft landing on the surface of the moon.  However, the orbiter with eight technical instruments is still successfully orbiting.

 And earlier.. in 2008 Chandrayaan-1 was launched.  It successfully detected traces of water on Zabilli’s surface.  However, even though it was designed to work for two years, the relationship was severed within a year.  In August 2009, ISRO announced that the mission was over after 312 days of orbiting the moon.  If the latest Chandrayaan 3 mission is successful, it will be a key step in India’s space research.
