Chandrayaan-3 launch : Proud moment for citizen of India:

It is proud moment for citizen of India the Chandrayaan-3 mission lifted off at 2:35 pm from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh propelled by an LVM3-M4 rocket. Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar mission which was launched on Friday, involves collaboration with different space agencies including the European, Australian and US counterparts of ISRO.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission is the latest in ISRO’s Chandrayaan (‘Moon craft’) series of lunar missions which will demonstrate new technologies required for interplanetary spaceflight and aims to achieve India’s first soft landing on another celestial body.The lander module is equipped with instruments to measure the surface temperature and seismic activity around the landing site, a laser retroreflector provided by NASA, and more. The rover’s instruments will be used to investigate the composition of nearby lunar surface material. Surface operations will last for approximately 14 days.

The LVM-3, the country’s heavy rocket, nicknamed ‘Bahubali‘ carried the 3.8-tonne Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft and put the moon spacecraft into orbit on Friday afternoon. The mission is a follow up of the failed Chandrayaan-2 mission in 2019 when the lander named Vikram crashed on to the moon surface.

PM Modi hailed ISRO Scientists:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday hailed the relentless dedication of India’s scientists on the launch of Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) lunar mission Chandrayaan-3. Sharing a tweet by ISRO, Modi tweeted: “Chandrayaan-3 scripts a new chapter in India’s space odyssey. It soars high, elevating the dreams and ambitions of every Indian. This momentous achievement is a testament to our scientists’ relentless dedication. I salute their spirit and ingenuity!”

Earlier today through a series of tweets, the Prime Minister, who is currently on a two-day visit to France, had sent his best wishes to the third lunar mission of ISRO.

It will make you all very proud,” the prime minister had tweeted. “14th July 2023 will always be etched in golden letters as far as India’s space sector is concerned. Chandrayaan-3, our third lunar mission, will embark on its journey. This remarkable mission will carry the hopes and dreams of our nation,” Modi said.

NASA and ESA lauded ISRO :

The US space agency NASA (an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research. Established in 1958) and European Space agency ESA (an intergovernmental organisation of 22 member states dedicated to the exploration of space. Established in 1975 and headquartered in Paris, ESA has a worldwide staff of about 2,200, as of 2018 and an annual budget of about €7.08 billion, as of 2023) on Friday lauded India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft that was successfully launched on a historic mission to the far side of the moon.

“Congratulations to ISRO on the Chandrayaan-3 launch, wishing you safe travels to the Moon. We look forward to the scientific results to come from the mission, including NASA’s laser retroreflector array. India is demonstrating leadership on #ArtemisAccords!” Bill Nelson, NASA administrator on Twitter.

Indian External Affairs Minister praised ISRO:

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said that the Chandrayaan-3 carries the hopes of 1.4 billion Indians.”Chandrayaan-3 is today embarking on a journey that carries the hopes of 1.4 billion Indians. The whole nation prays for its success,” Jaishankar tweeted.Earlier today, Chandrayaan-3 was launched on GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota as per scheduled launch time.

We hope the Chandrayaan-3 will reached at lunar surface successfully and the dedication and hard work of ISRO scientist will be fruitful and name of our country will shine.
