Highlights of the Chandrayaan 3 launch: India makes the first step towards a nearly flawless soft landing on the moon. Launch of Chandrayaan-3

Chandrayaan-3 in its last leg of journey to the moon

On July 14, 2023 Thursday at 2.35 PM IST, the “Chandrayaan-3” mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The lander’s trip to the moon will take close to 42 days to complete.

If ISRO completes this mission successfully, it will join the United States, the former Soviet Union, and most recently China as the only four nations to have accomplished a soft landing on the moon. Before making a successful Moon landing, both the Soviet Union and the United States lost numerous spacecraft in crashes. China was the only nation to complete the mission successfully on its first try with the Chang’e-3 mission in 2013.

The spacecraft successfully launched from Earth and is currently travelling towards the Moon in an orbit around the planet. According to P Veeramuthuvel, project director of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, it has a number of crucial events planned, including earth-bound manoeuvres, insertion into the lunar orbit, separation of the lander, a sequence of deboost manoeuvres, and a power descent phase for a soft landing.
