Chandrayaan-2 Landing

Mr Duari said ISRO's three Chandrayaan missions have thrown more light on the presence of water ice, previously undiscovered minerals and elements, and temperature changes on the moon.

ISRO on Friday released a breathtaking video of the Chandrayaan-3 mission's rover 'Pragyan' rolling down from the lander 'Vikram' to the lunar surface as observed by the lander imager camera. ISRO also released the image of the lander taken by Chandrayaan-2's Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) after it soft-landed on the Moon's surface.

When Indian space agency scientists set out to design the Chandrayaan-3 moon mission, they knew they had one more chance to make history with a landing on the lunar south pole after a failed attempt four years ago. They also had to do it on a shoestring budget and ended up spending only Rs. 6.15 billion on the mission.

Nearly four years after the Chandrayaan-2 setback drove him to tears, former chief of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) K Sivan was ecstatic when Chandrayaan-3 made a touchdown on the lunar surface last evening

The lessons learned from the failure of Chandrayaan-2 contributed to the success of India's third lunar mission, former space scientist with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) scientist Nambi Narayanan said.

As Chandrayaan-3 achieved a soft landing near the lunar South Pole former ISRO chief K Sivan on Wednesday said that it is sweet news, for which they have been waiting for the last four years.

Chandrayaan-3's LM comprising the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan), made soft landing near the south polar region of the Moon at 6.04pm.

If all goes well, India will become the fourth country to make a soft landing on the Moon.

India will make its second attempt to land on the moon on Wednesday, a mission seen as crucial to lunar exploration and the country's standing as a space power, just days after a similar Russian lander crashed. In 2019, ISRO's Chandrayaan-2 mission successfully deployed an orbiter but its lander crashed.

As scientists at ISRO gear up for the much-awaited soft landing of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the Moon’s surface, the space agency may postpone the touchdown to August 27 in the event that health parameters of the lander module are found to be "abnormal", a senior official has said. ISRO had planned the soft landing of the Chandrayaan-3 spa...

Chandrayaan-3, India's latest lunar mission, is expected to make a soft landing on the south pole of the moon on August 23. The spacecraft was launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on July 14. After completing a journey of almost 40 days, the Chandrayaan-3 mission will finally make India the fourth nation to land on moon with its su...

ISRO's ambitious third Moon mission Chandrayaan-3's Lander Module (LM) is all set to land on the lunar surface on Wednesday evening, as India eyes becoming the first country to reach the uncharted south pole of Earth's only natural satellite.

Nilesh M Desai, director of Space Applications Centre-ISRO, Ahmedabad said that the decision regarding the landing will be taken based on the health of the lander module and the conditions on the Moon. ISRO said the Chandrayaan-3 is set to land on the moon on August 23, 2023, around 18:04 hours IST.

In a significant development, the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter which was already fixed around the moon established a two-way connection with the lander module of Chandrayaan-3 on Monday. Earlier today, ISRO released images of the lunar far side area captured by the Lander Hazard Detection and Avoidance Camera (LHDAC).

Achieving a major milestone, ISRO on Thursday announced that the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft's Lander Module has successfully separated from the Propulsion module that was propelling it all these days in space. The soft landing on the Lunar south pole is scheduled on August 23.
