The Chandrayaan - 3 mission led by DR. Ritu Srivastava; by the Indian Space Research Organisation( ISRO) successfully took off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, at 2.35 PM IST on Friday, July 14.

The mission follows Chandrayaan- 2 where scientists aim to demonstrate colorful capabilities including reaching the route of the moon, making a soft- wharf on the lunar face using a lander, and a rover coming out of the lander to study the surface of the moon.
Sixteen minutes after lift-off, the propulsion module successfully separated from the rocket and would circumnavigate the earth about 5- 6 times in an elliptical cycle with 170 km closest and 36,500 km furthest from Earth moving towards the lunar route.
