Chandrayan-3
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) embarked on the third Lunar Mission after the second mission had failed in 2019 owing to the crash of lander named Vikram on to the moon surface. Today it launched Chandrayan-3 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The LVM-3, the heavy rocket, carried the 3.8-tonne spacecraft, which is now on the way to the moon and is expected to complete its journey on August 23. Chandrayaan-3 is equipped with a lander, a rover and a propulsion module. Congratulations to our ISRO on completing the first step successfully towards a safe landing on the surface of the moon.
