About four years ago, India's lander 'Vikram' fell face down on the moon during landing. Pragyan's robot car inside Vikram's body was destroyed along with it. After the success of the Mars mission, Chandrayaan 2's push shook the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). After that, overcoming the Covid episode, ISRO again went to the moon. Chandrayaan-3 will take off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Andhra Pradesh at 2:25 pm next Friday on an LVM-3 rocket.

About four years ago, India's lander 'Vikram' fell face down on the moon during landing. Pragyan's robot car inside Vikram's body was destroyed along with it. After the success of the Mars mission, Chandrayaan 2's push shook the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). After that, overcoming the Covid episode, ISRO again went to the moon. Chandrayaan-3 will take off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Andhra Pradesh at 2:25 pm next Friday on an LVM-3 rocket. So far it is certain that ISRO's mission may land on the southern part of the moon by August 23-24.

Chandrayaan 2 carried an artificial satellite or orbiter in addition to the lander (which landed on the lunar surface) and the rover (robot vehicle). Which has eaten in the orbit of the moon. This time it was not kept. Only the lander and rover are retained. According to ISRO, the lander mainly has three instruments. The Surface Thermophysical Experiment for temperature measurements, the Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity for soil seismic measurements, and the Langmuir Probe for lunar surface plasma probes. The weight of the lander is about 1750 kg. The rover has Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope. The rover weighs about 26 kilograms.

This time the rocket that will send Chandrayaan 3 will reach about 180 km above the Earth's surface after 970 seconds from the start of its engine and there the Chandrayaan will separate. At that time the speed of the rocket will be more than 10 km per second.

Coming to this situation, many people are talking about the last lunar mission. India's envoy fell flat in the last round despite raising a lot of hopes. The question was raised whether there was a deficiency in ISRO's preparation behind that failure. After that, ISRO is going to go to the moon after almost four years of preparation. Many people think that Indian engineers and scientists can make up for the shortcomings of the previous time.

Along with this, many people say that the technological aspect is also important in the lunar mission, in addition to the research related to alien planets. India's artificial satellite reached the orbit of the Red Planet in the case of the Mars mission. But India has not yet landed on an alien planet or satellite. ISRO is far behind in space operations from that aspect. So this time, if it can land safely on the lunar soil, it will open the way for some more expeditions in the coming days in front of India.
