"chandrayaan-3"

Separation of the lander module from the propulsion module is planned for August 17, ISRO said in a post on X

The Chandrayaan-3 mission consists of a propulsion module (with a weight of 2,148 kg), a lander (weighing 1,723.89 kg), and a rover (with a mass of 26 kg).

The national space agency, based in this location, reported that the spacecraft has successfully attained a "near-circular orbit" around the moon.

Russian scientists have activated scientific devices on the Luna-25 spacecraft, on its way to the Moon, and have also started processing the first data

Luna-25 took off atop a Soyuz-2.1b rocket from the Vostochny launch facility in Russia at 2:10 a.m. Moscow time (4:40 am IST) on Friday, TASS news agency reported.

The Indian space agency said: "Chandrayaan-3's orbit is reduced to 174 km x 1437 km following a manuevre performed today

Participating in a talk on "Chandrayaan-3: Bharat’s Pride Space Mission" organised by NGO Disha Bharat, he maintained that the soft landing will be ensured even if all the sensors and two of its engines fail to work.

India's third lunar mission – Chandrayaan-3 – is in good health and its most critical phase will be the orbit determination process

The space agency announced its plan to conduct the next operation of this kind on August 9.

"Nothing to worry...the landing will happen after a week or so," he said when asked about the update on the Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI) of Chandrayaan-3 today

The Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI) is set for around 7 pm on August 5.

Earlier today, a key manoeuvre to slingshot the Chandrayaan spacecraft towards the Moon from Earth's orbit was carried out successfully

The lander will descend to the moon from a height of about 100 km from the moon's surface.

It will be the country’s dedicated polarimetry mission to study the dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions, the government said.

From the invisible quantum world to incomprehensibly large galaxies, recent discoveries have helped in expanding our understanding of the mysteries of the universe

Each of these manoeuvres is meant to lift the spacecraft farther from Earth's orbit and closer to Moon's orbit

The next firing is planned for July 25 between 2 pm and 3 pm, the national space agency headquartered here said

ISRO Chairman during his inaugural address to the START program said ISRO is discussing missions to the Moon further for landing.

The Indian space agency on Tuesday successfully raised the orbit of its moon spacecraft Chandrayaan-3

The flight vehicle of this prestigious mission had on its board 55 packages manufactured by ITI Limited adhering to the stringent highest quality standards of ISRO.
