Chandrayaan-3 Launch LIVE Streaming: When And Where To Watch ISRO's LIVE Telecast

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission on Friday.

It is scheduled to blast off from India's main spaceport in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh at 2.35 pm.

The mission comes four years after an earlier attempt ended in failure. In 2019, India launched the Chanrdayaan-2 rocket and a rover also called Vikram, as in the current mission - but the rover crashed as it attempted a soft landing on the moon.

However, to avoid past failures, ISRO has adopted failure-based design for the Chandrayaan-3 launch.

With the successful launch of Chandrayaan-3, India will join elite group of nations comprising the United States, the former Soviet Union and China that have made soft landings on the moon.

Earlier this year, a Japanese start-up attempted to get a lander to the moon, but the object crashed.

What else do we know about the launch?

The Chandrayaan-3 was built with a budget of Rs 616 crore.

Chandrayaan-3 is the country's first major mission since the government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced policies to promote investment in private space launches.

Reportedly, Chandrayaan-3 is the first of as many as six missions that could explore land on the moon in the months ahead.

When will Chandrayaan-3 will land on Moon?

Chandrayaan-3 mission is scheduled to reach the moon on August 23 or 24. The entire mission is likely to last for one lunar night, which is equivalent to 14 days on Earth.
