ISRO

ISRO’s LVM3-M4/CHANDRAYAAN-3 MISSION posted a message on X which was known as Twitter earlier. The post said, “Hello! This is Chandrayaan 3 with a special update...."

The ISRO announced on Friday that the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, launched on July 14, has covered approximately two-thirds of the distance to the Moon.

Chandrayaan-3 completes its orbits of the Earth and moves toward the Moon in accordance with its mission...

ISRO carried out the launch in accordance with a contract with New Space India Limited (NSIL). The launch on Sunday morning was ISRO's 431st attempt to launch a foreign satellite from the nation.

The launch off of Chandrayaan-3 is shown in a video posted on Twitter that was shot from inside a plane.

Tweet from Anand Mahindra said, “There will be many who will question why we’re spending money on Chandrayaan-3 and indeed, on the entire space program."

After the much awaited unveiling, social media was ablaze with pride and zeal. While others made jokes, some users enthusiastically uploaded memes and messages celebrating ISRO's labour of love.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday said that with the launch of Chandrayaan-3, India today embarked on its historic space journey.

The 2019 movie Mission Mangal, in which Akshay Kumar featured, was largely based on the life of ISRO scientists who worked on India's first Mars Orbiter Mission.

If everything goes according to plan, Chandrayaan-3 will land at the south pole of the moon, a first for a spacecraft.
