ISRO Launches Chandrayaan-3, Aims for Historic Soft Landing On Moon
Sriharikota, 14th July 2023: In a momentous event, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the Chandrayaan-3 mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 2:35 PM IST today.
If this mission proves successful, India will join a select group of nations, including the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China, to achieve a soft landing on the Moon. Notably, both the US and the Soviet Union experienced multiple spacecraft crashes before their triumphant landings, while China accomplished a successful landing on its first attempt with the Chang’e-3 mission in 2013.
Chandrayaan-3 serves as a follow-up to the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which faced setbacks during its final stages. This ambitious endeavor marks India’s second endeavor to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, attracting worldwide attention and anticipation.
