India is all set to launch its ‘Chandrayaan-3’ mission on July 14 at 2:35 pm. To seek the blessing ahead day of the launch, a team of ISRO scientists on Thursday visited and offered prayers at Tirupathi Venkatachalapathy Temple in Andhra Pradesh with a miniature model of Chandrayaan-3.
A team of ISRO scientists, including Scientific Secretary of ISRO Shanthanu Batwuadekar, visited the temple earlier on Thursday.
National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL) Director Amit Kumar Patra, Project Director of Chandrayaan-3, Veeramuthu Vel, Associate Project Director of Chandrayaan-3, Kalpana Kalahasti, and other senior ISRO scientists were also among the team seeking divine blessings at the temple ahead of the historic launch on Friday.
The information came from ISRO a few days back with the announcement “Chandrayaan-3 will be launched on July 14, at 2:35 pm IST from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.”
Notably, Chandrayaan-3 India’s third lunar exploration mission, will make India the fourth country to land its spacecraft on the moon’s surface and demonstrate its ability for safe and soft landing on the lunar surface.
Ahead of the countdown for the launch, the official tweet came from ISRO, which reads, “Mission Readiness Review is completed. The board has authorised the launch. The countdown begins tomorrow. The launch can be viewed LIVE on http://isro.gov.in”
It is to be noted here that this mission will be ISRO’s follow-up attempt after the Chandrayaan-2 mission faced challenges during its soft landing. ISRO lost contact with the lander when it was just a notch from the moon’s surface in 2019.
