The Indian Space Research Organisation on Thursday said that the movement of the LVM3 M4 vehicle with Chandrayaan-3 to the launch pad has commenced.
This comes after the space agency on Wednesday mated the encapsulated assembly containing Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft with LVM3, its new heavy lift launch vehicle, at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
ISRO has shared pictures on its official Twitter handle. Take a look:
Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.
ISRO has said the lunar mission is slated to be launched on July 14 at 2:35 pm IST from SDSC, Sriharikota.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission carries scientific instruments to study the thermophysical properties of the lunar regolith, lunar seismicity, lunar surface plasma environment and elemental composition in the vicinity of the landing site.
