'Truly a golden moment' - Cricket fraternity congratulates ISRO for successful launch of Chandrayaan 3

The much-awaited Chandrayaan 3 has been launched at 2:35 PM IST on July 14. Propelled by an LVM3-M4 rocket, the Chandrayaan-3 mission lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. India's third moon mission Chandrayaan 3 will attempt the technically challenging soft landing on lunar surface on August 23 this year.

"This is a moment of glory for us, moment of glory for India and moment of destiny for all of us...I must thank team ISRO for making India proud. I also thank PM Modi for making this possible by unlocking the doors of Sriharikota and enabling India's space sector...," Union Minister Jitendra Singh said.

Notably, this might be another opportunity for ISRO to make a mark as they attempt to land on moon. Their last attempt came heartbreakingly close as the organization's communication was disconnected with the Chandrayaan 2 a few years back. The former ISRO chief was seen crying and was consoled by none other India PM Narendra Modi.

The journey from Earth to the moon for the spacecraft is estimated to take about a month and the landing is expected on August 23. Upon 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.
