Successful launching of Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO scientists gave information
New Delhi. India’s third moon mission ‘Chandrayaan-3’ (Chandrayaan-3) was launched on Friday at 2.35 pm. It will land on the Moon after about 42 days. ISRO scientists announced the successful separation of the satellite from the launch vehicle. The satellite has now been placed in the desired orbit to begin its journey to the Moon.
The lander carried by the spacecraft is expected to soft-land on the Moon on August 23 or 24. ISRO said the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft consists of a propulsion module (weight 2,148 kg), a lander (1,723.89 kg) and a rover (26 kg). The first stage of the rocket is powered by solid fuel. The second stage is powered by liquid fuel while the third and final stage has cryogenic engines powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
The main objective of Chandrayaan-3 is to land the lander safely on the lunar surface. The rover will then head out to perform the experiment. The payload carried by the propulsion module has a life of between three and six months after exiting the lander. ISRO, on the other hand, said that the mission life of the lander and rover is one lunar day or 14 Earth days.
