Chandrayaan-3 MISSION UPDATE: On July 14, the Indian Space Research Organisation successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 on board an LVM3-M4 rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. And 17 minutes after lift-off at 2.35 pm, the satellite was precisely injected into the intended orbit.
Although there was no confirmation from India's space agency as it had recently launched the Chandrayaan-3 from Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota, Twitter users have now started speculating it could be a part of the prestigious lunar exploration mission.
Chandrayaan 3 launch: Chandrayaan-2 had failed in its lunar phase when its lander 'Vikram' crashed into the surface of the moon following anomalies in the braking system in the lander while attempting a soft landing on September 7, 2019. Chandrayaan's maiden mission was in 2008.
Chandrayaan-3 launch: Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged countrymen to gather more information about this mission and the strides India has made in the field of space, science and innovation.
Chandrayaan-3 will carry scientific instruments to study unexplored important aspects of the Moon.
Chandrayaan-2: The study finds that a part of the signal could be arising from a thin veneer of sodium atoms weakly bound to the lunar grains.
Chandrayaan II anniversary: Though the soft-landing attempt of the lander Vikram was not successful, the orbiter, which was equipped with eight scientific instruments, was successfully placed in lunar orbit.
The observations of the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter payloads have yielded discovery-class findings, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
According to a research paper published in Current Science Journal, the spacecraft with the help of an Imaging infrared spectrometer (IIRS) could differentiate between hydroxyl and water molecules.
As soon as the announcement was made, Indian Twitter celebrated the news with their hilarious memes.
It is unfair to describe the "Chandrayaan Mission" as a failure as technologically the launch was successful, Union Minister of State for Department of Space Jitendra Singh said in Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
