Chandrayaan-3 took off from a launch pad in southern India with an orbiter, lander and a rover, in a demonstration of India’s emerging space technology. The spacecraft is set to embark on a month-long journey before landing on the moon’s surface in August.
Indian spacecraft Chandrayaan-3, the word for"moon craft" in Sanskrit, blasts off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, Friday, July 14, 2023. The Indian spacecraft blazed its way to the far side of the moon Friday in a follow-up mission to its failed effort nearly four years ago to land a rover softly on the lunar surface, the country's space agency said.
Applause and cheers swept through mission control at Satish Dhawan Space Center, where the Indian Space Research Organization’s engineers and scientists celebrated as they monitored the launch of the spacecraft. Thousands of Indians cheered outside the mission control center and waved the national flag as they watched the spacecraft rise into the sky.
A successful landing would make India the fourth country — after the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China — to achieve the feat. . It entered the lunar orbit but lost touch with its lander that crashed while making its final descent to deploy a rover to search for signs of water. According to a failure analysis report submitted to the ISRO, the crash was caused by a software glitch.
