ISRO Successfully Completes Operational Plan Rehearsals for Launch of Chandrayaan-3 Spacecraft
ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) has completed the operational plan rehearsals for the launch of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft. The spacecraft, designed to land and explore the South Pole of the Moon, has been developed at a cost of approximately Rs. 615 crore.
Scheduled to take place on July 14 at 2.35 pm, the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft will be launched by the LVM-3 (GSLV Mark-3) rocket from the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Research Center in Sriharikota. This mission aims to further expand our knowledge and understanding of the Moon.
Scientists and engineers are currently in the final phase of the work, ensuring all systems are functioning optimally. In the meantime, the operational plan for the launch was conducted successfully on Tuesday. According to sources within ISRO, the rehearsal went smoothly, and the final stages of launching the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft are now underway.
With a total mass of 3,900 kg, the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is equipped with seven different inspection tools. Unlike the previous Chandrayaan-2 mission, which included an orbiter, this time only the lander and rover spacecraft will be sent to explore the Moon. It’s important to note that these probes will spend 14 days conducting research and gathering valuable data.
The successful completion of the operational plan rehearsals is an important milestone for ISRO and India’s space program. It showcases the organization’s dedication to precision and careful planning, ensuring that the upcoming Chandrayaan-3 mission is carried out seamlessly.
As India continues to make strides in space exploration, this mission will contribute to our scientific knowledge and pave the way for future lunar exploration endeavors. With each new mission, ISRO further solidifies its reputation as a leading player in the global space industry.
