Chandrayaan 3: India's important mission Chandrayaan 3 is slowly moving towards the moon. In view of this, ISRO says that Chandrayaan-3 has successfully completed the second orbit-raising maneuver. According to ISRO, the location of Chandrayaan-3 is now in 41603 km x 226 orbit. It will come out of its gravitational force while revolving around the earth. The next firing for the next phase is planned to be done between 2-3 pm tomorrow.The specialty of Chandrayaan 3ISRO launched the Chandrayaan 3 mission on 14 July 2023. The mission was launched at 2.35 pm. The goal of this mission is soft landing on the Moon. Running the rover on the lunar surface and collecting information about the elements present on the moon. About 700 crore rupees have been spent in preparing this vehicle. The lander of this vehicle will go to that part of the moon i.e. the deserted parts of the moon and gather information about the metals and other elements present there.How will Chandrayaan reach the moonChandrayaan 3 Spacecraft at Satish Dhawan Space Center traveled till Earth's orbit via Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM 3). LVM 3 is 43.5 meters in length and weighs 640 tonnes. This rocket can fly with a load of up to 8 tonnes. In the Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft, the lander module weighs 1.7 tonnes, the propulsion module weighs 2.2 tonnes and the rover inside the lander weighs 26 kg.Chandrayaan 3 will be sent to Earth's orbit with the help of rocket. After this, this spacecraft will continue to increase its radius by circling the earth using its propulsion. The radius will gradually reach the orbit of the rising moon, after which the spacecraft will start circling the moon. After reaching the lunar orbit, the lander will be made a soft landing on the moon. Please tell that it may take up to 45-48 days for this spacecraft to cover the distance from the earth to the moon.
