That’s fantastic news! It’s great to hear that Chandrayaan-3, India’s third moon mission and second attempt at a soft lunar landing, has successfully taken off. The launch took place on July 14 at 2:35 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, aboard the Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM 3) rocket.
According to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the lift-off was normal and smooth, with the rocket rising majestically into the sky at the scheduled time. The planned stage separations during the ascent were executed precisely as intended. These early stages of the mission are crucial, and the fact that they proceeded as planned is a positive development.
This successful launch brings hope and anticipation for the Chandrayaan-3 mission’s next steps, including its journey to the moon and the potential for a successful soft landing. It’s an exciting time for India’s space program, and the progress made so far is commendable.
