Chandrayaan-3 / ISRO may launch Chandrayaan-3 in July, accurate landing first target

Chandrayaan-3: India is making constant efforts to step on the moon. In the coming days, India will also be able to say that the moon is very close to the earth as the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is in the final stages of preparations to launch the ambitious lunar mission Chandrayaan-3. The spacecraft is in final assembly of the payload at the UR Rao Satellite Centre. The Chandrayaan-3 mission will carry scientific instruments to study the thermo-physical properties of lunar regolith, lunar seismicity, lunar surface plasma environment and elements around the landing site.

According to the reports of India Today, the spacecraft is going to be launched in July. This has been confirmed by a senior officer. He says that Chandrayaan-3 can be launched in the first or second week of July. However, no decision has been taken yet regarding its last date. In the month of March this year itself, Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft had successfully completed the required test.

The third spacecraft of the Chandrayaan mission will be launched from India's heaviest launch vehicle Mark-III from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. It is also called GSLV Mk III. Three systems have been added to the spacecraft, which include propulsion, lander and rover. ISRO chief S Somnath recently said that the first objective of Chandrayaan-3 is to have a precise landing. For this, a lot of work is being done today, which includes making new instruments, making better algorithms, taking care of failure modes.

Engine test done successfully

ISRO has completed the flight acceptance heat test of the CE-20 cryogenic engine that will power the cryogenic upper stage of the Chandrayaan-3 launch vehicle. The hot test was conducted for a planned duration of 25 seconds at the High Altitude Test Facility of ISRO Propulsion Complex at Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu. Chandrayaan-3 Lander was also successfully EMI/EMC tested at UR Rao Satellite Center.
