Chandrayaan 3: Under the Chandrayaan 3 mission, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) may launch Chandrayaan 3 in the first or second week of July. All the tests related to the spacecraft have been completed successfully.

The process of attaching the payload to the vehicle is in the final stages at the UR Rao Satellite Centre. ISRO has also completed the required hot tests for the CE-20 cryogenic engine.

According to a senior ISRO official, it has been decided to launch the vehicle in early July, but the final date has not been decided yet. This third spacecraft of the Chandrayaan program will be launched by the country’s heaviest launch vehicle GSLV MK-III from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota.

It is noteworthy that in March this year, Chandrayaan-3 successfully completed the necessary tests to deal with the conditions encountered during the launch.

The basic structure of the Moon will be studied- Chandrayaan-3 will also carry scientific equipment. It will study the thermo-physical properties, seismic potential, plasma atmosphere and elemental composition of the lunar surface of dust, broken rocks and other materials present on the lunar surface.

 

The vehicle has three parts – propulsion, lander and rover

• The propulsion system will take the vehicle from Earth’s orbit to the Moon’s orbit.
• Will make a safe landing of the lander vehicle
• The rover will land on the lunar surface and collect material and send it to a center on Earth.
