“The next firing, the TransLunar Injection (TLI), is planned for August 1, 2023, between 12 midnight and 1 am IST,” ISRO further tweeted.

However, ISRO successfully launched the GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle on July 14, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota as per scheduled launch time.

Notably, the estimated time of the journey for a spacecraft from Earth to moon about a month and the landing of the Chandrayaan-3 is expected on August 23. After landing, it will operate for one lunar day, which is approximately 14 Earth days. One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth.

Chandrayaan-3 will make India the fourth country to land its spacecraft on the surface of the moon and demonstrate the country’s ability for safe and soft landing on the lunar surface.

After travelling for about 40 to 50 days, the lander and rover of Chandrayaan-3 will land near the south pole of the Moon. The whole world is eyeing this moon mission. Scientists have described this mission as a game changer.
