Chandrayaan-3 Launch: Date, Time, Place, How To Watch Live And All You Need To Know

Chandrayaan-3 will be launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.

Chandrayaan-3 will be launched by Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM-3), India's largest rocket.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission launch will be live-streamed on ISRO's official YouTube channel. On Television, viewers can watch the launch on Doordarshan and catch all the live updates online on BQ Prime.

• According to the information on ISRO's website, the mission objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are:

  1. To demonstrate a Safe and Soft Landing on Lunar Surface

  2. To demonstrate Rover roving on the moon and

  3. To conduct in-situ scientific experiments.

• Chandrayaan-3 consists of an indigenous Lander module (LM), Propulsion module (PM) and a Rover with an objective of developing and demonstrating new technologies required for Interplanetary missions.

• The Lander will have the capability to soft land at a specified lunar site and deploy the Rover which will carry out in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course of its mobility.

• The Lander and the Rover have scientific payloads to carry out experiments on the lunar surface. The main function of PM is to carry the LM from launch vehicle injection till final lunar 100 km circular polar orbit and separate the LM from PM.

• Apart from this, the Propulsion Module also has one scientific payload as a value addition which will be operated post separation of Lander Module. 

• In March this year, the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully completed the essential tests that validated its capability to withstand the harsh vibration and acoustic environment that the spacecraft would face during its launch, according to PTI.
