The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) is getting ready to launch Chandrayaan-3 in 2023, which would be the most important mission of that year. From Sriharikota, the Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle (GSLV-MkIII) will carry the spacecraft into orbit as it launches into space.
After launching from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, the spacecraft would enter an elliptical orbit around the Moon and then make an attempt to soft-land on its surface.
“Chandrayaan-3 consists of an indigenous Lander module (LM), Propulsion module (PM), and a Rover with the objective of developing and demonstrating new technologies required for interplanetary missions,” Isro added.
With Chandrayaan-3, ISRO is launching a lander and rover combination
“The Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to develop and demonstrate new technologies required for interplanetary missions.”
The lander and rover combo will be sent to the moon on the propulsion module until it reaches an altitude of 100 kilometers above the lunar surface. After reaching this altitude, the spacecraft will begin its powered and automated descent to the lunar surface.
In July of this year, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will make an effort to send the Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon.
