The ISRO Materials’ Director (retired) Dr P V Venkitakrishnan shared the video on Twitter and wrote, “Launch of Chandrayan 3 from Flight.” Sometime after takeoff from the Chennai to Dhaka flight, the pilot announced, Watch this historical event.”
After the video was shared on Twitter, it received 413.9K views, 2,542 retweets, and 12.2K likes.
Though the journey from Earth to the moon for Chandrayaan-3 is estimated to take about a month, it may land on 23 August. Once the Chandrayaan-3 lands, it will operate for one lunar day which is almost 14 Earth days.
With the Chandrayaan-3 launch, India has become the fourth country after the US, China, and Russia to land its spacecraft on the surface of the moon. After the orbit-raising maneuvers, Chandrayaan-3 will be inserted into the Lunar Transfer Trajectory.
