Vikram Sarabhai Space Center Director S Unnikrishnan Nair said the historic ‘Chandrayaan-3’ mission, which was launched on July 14, will go through a crucial 40-day phase and finally use its thrusters for ‘landing’ on the lunar surface. With the help it will be taken away from the earth. Talking to reporters in Thiruvananthapuram on 15 July, Nair said that the launch vehicle performed very well and the initial conditions required for the spacecraft were provided “very precisely”. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched ‘Chandrayaan-3’ on July 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh through LVM3-M4 rocket.
