<p><strong>Chandrayaan-3: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mission readiness review of the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO's) third lunar exploration mission, Chandrayaan-3, was completed on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, two days ahead of its launch. The board has authorised the launch of Chandrayaan-3, and the countdown will begin from Thursday, July 13, ISRO said in a mission update. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday, July 12, 2023, Chandrayaan-3's launch rehearsal was concluded. The launch rehearsal simulated all the preparations and processions necessary for the launch, and took 24 hours to complete. </span></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">LVM3 M4/Chandrayaan-3 Mission:<br />Mission Readiness Review is completed.<br />The board has authorised the launch.<br />The countdown begins tomorrow.<br /><br />The launch can be viewed LIVE on<a href="https://ift.tt/5G1s9AH href="https://ift.tt/y96EFKa href="https://ift.tt/4EYy57Z /><br />DD National<br />from 14:00 Hrs.

The propulsion module will carry the lander module to the final 100-kilometre circular orbit. After reaching this orbit, the lander module and the propulsion module will separate. </span></p> <p><strong>ALSO READ | <a title="High Chances of Floods In Delhi If Yamuna Breaches 1978 Level: Experts" href="https://ift.tt/IgdGMU5" target="_self">High Chances of Floods In Delhi If Yamuna Breaches 1978 Level: Experts</a></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The propulsion module, after separation, will remain in orbit around the Moon, and act as a communications relay satellite.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lander, rover and propulsion modules will carry their own scientific payloads. </span></p> <p><strong>ALSO READ | <a title="What Has Delhi Learnt Since Yamuna's Record Rise In 1978?

Here's What Experts Say</a></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The vertical velocity with which the lander will touch down on the lunar surface should be less than two metres per second, and the horizontal velocity should be less than 0.5 metre per second. The slope must be less than 120 degrees. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The mission life of Chandrayaan-3 is one lunar day, which is equivalent to about 14 Earth days.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People can view the launch live on the official website and YouTube channel of ISRO, and also on DD National. The livestream will begin at 2:00 pm IST on July 14, 2023. </span></p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q2ueCg9bvvQ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
