Earlier, ISRO invited the public to the Launch View Gallery at Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, to witness the historic launch of Chandrayaan-3 on July 14.
Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2. On July 22, 2019, India’s second lunar mission, Chandrayaan-2, commenced its journey to the moon from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. Unfortunately, during the early hours of September 6, the Vikram lunar lander encountered a mishap and crashed on the moon, resulting in the mission’s failure.
