The final stage of preparation for the launch is underway.
ISRO Director S Somanath announced yesterday that Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar exploration mission, will be launched on July 14 at 2.35 pm from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
“On July 14 at 2.35pm IST, Chandrayaan-3 will lift off, and if everything goes well, it will land (on the moon) on August 23. The date is decided based on when the sunrise is on the moon; it will depend on the calculations, but if it gets delayed, then we will have to keep the landing for the next month in September,” Somanath said.
“Our main objective is a safe and soft landing; all equipment will be fine if it goes safely and there is a soft landing. We are good with the landing system. Rover will come out after landing, the rover has 6 wheels, and we are expecting the rover will work for 14 days on the moon… With the support of multiple cameras on the rover, we will receive images. We have a solar panel on the rover. We already tested it, and we have good results with the battery,” Somanath added.
