Chandrayaan-3 Launch Date
Chandrayaan-3 Launch Date : On July 14 at 2:35 pm, India’s much-anticipated moon mission, Chandrayaan-3, is scheduled to take off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The scientific community and people across the globe are eagerly awaiting this historic event, hoping for a successful edition of India’s lunar exploration program.
The countdown for the Chandrayaan-3 mission began on Thursday, creating a sense of anticipation. In a tweet, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced, “The countdown leading to the launch today at 14:35:17 Hrs. IST has commenced.”
Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-up mission after the crash-landing of Chandrayaan-2 in September 2019, caused by a software glitch. Determined to ensure success this time, ISRO has implemented several improvements in Chandrayaan-3. The mission is expected to land on the Moon on August 23.
Chandrayaan-3 consists of three main components: an indigenous propulsion module, a lander module, and a rover. The mission aims to develop and demonstrate new technologies required for inter-planetary missions. The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover from the injection orbit to a lunar orbit of 100 km.
Additionally, the mission carries a Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planetary Earth (SHAPE) payload, which will study the spectral and polarimetric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.
A successful mission would place India in an elite club of nations that have achieved a soft landing on the Moon, joining the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union in this remarkable feat of human exploration.
Former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan expressed his belief that the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 would significantly enhance India’s potential for space science development. Currently, India’s share in the $600 billion space industry stands at a mere 2 percent. This mission has the potential to increase India’s presence and contribution to the global space business.
ISRO Chairman S. Somanath revealed an interesting approach in the design of Chandrayaan-3. Instead of focusing on success, the space agency has adopted a failure-based design, analyzing potential failures and finding ways to protect against them, ensuring a successful landing. This approach demonstrates ISRO’s commitment to learning from past experiences and improving mission outcomes.

Unlike Chandrayaan-2, which consisted of the Vikram lander, Pragyan rover, and an orbiter, Chandrayaan-3 will launch with only a lander and a rover. The mission will utilize the existing orbiter launched with Chandrayaan-2 for communication and terrain mapping purposes.
The Chandrayaan-3 lander mission is equipped with “lander hazard detection and avoidance cameras,” which will aid in coordination with the orbiter and the mission control during the landing process on the lunar surface. Furthermore, the landing area has been expanded from 500m x 500m to four km by 2.5 km, providing flexibility for landing within a broader region.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission carries a greater amount of fuel, allowing for extended travel capabilities and increased resilience in handling dispersion or moving to an alternate landing site. The Vikram lander now features additional solar panels on various surfaces to ensure power generation, regardless of its landing orientation.
