Chandrayaan-3 LIVE Updates: Vikram Lander successfully separated from the propulsion module, says ISRO
Chandrayaan-3 lander splits from propulsion module in key step
Chandrayaan 3 LIVE Updates: India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is set for a scheduled moon landing on August 23, aiming to become the fourth nation to achieve this milestone.
Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is embarking to achieve a successful soft landing on the Moon with the launch of Chandrayaan-3. The spacecraft is now primed for its scheduled moon landing on August 23. This endeavor places India on track to become the fourth nation globally to achieve this remarkable milestone, joining the company of the United States, Russia, and China.
The mission was launched effectively on July 14 via the GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota. It is poised to touch down on the moon’s exterior come August 23. It represents India’s third lunar expedition and its second endeavor to achieve a delicate landing on the Moon’s terrain.

Meaning of the name ‘Vikram’ and ‘Pragyan’
Developed by ISRO, Chandrayaan-3 includes a lander module named Vikram, which means “valor” in Sanskrit, and a rover named Pragyan, Sanskrit for “wisdom”.
The landing phase of the spacecraft will commence next
After separating from the propulsion module, the landing phase of the spacecraft will commence, where the space agency will perform a series of complex braking maneuvers to facilitate a soft landing.
Perform a spectroscopic study of the Earth’s atmosphere
Instruments onboard will “perform a spectroscopic study of the Earth’s atmosphere and measure the variations in polarization from the clouds on Earth — to accumulate signatures of Exoplanets that would qualify for our habitability!”
