Chandrayaan-3 to make India fourth country to land on moon: Dr Jitendra

New Delhi, July 09: Chandrayaan-3, scheduled to be launched from Sriharikota this week, will make India the fourth country to land its spacecraft on the surface of the moon, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, MoS PMO, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh said on Sunday.
Dr Jitendra in a statement said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent USA visit was marked by significant space-related agreements indicating that the countries which had started their space journey long before India are today looking upto India as an equal collaborator.”
After such a quantum rise in our space expertise under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s regime, India can no longer wait to be left behind in its march to the moon, he said.
Dr Singh said that Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission of Chandrayaan-2 and is aimed to demonstrate India’s capability in soft landing and roving on the surface of the moon or the lunar surface. The complex mission profile, he said, required for the spacecraft to enter the moon’s orbit has been executed very precisely. “After the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the surface of the moon, the rover, which has six wheels, will come out and is expected to work for 14 days on the moon. With the support of multiple cameras on the rover, we will be able to receive images,” he said.
Giving full credit to PM Modi for providing an enabling environment for space workers and taking path-breaking decisions like unlocking the space sector for Public Private Partnership (PPP), the union minister said, “Based on the current trajectory of growth, India’s space sector could be a 1 Trillion US Dollar economy in the coming years.”
Elaborating further, he said, “The primary objectives of Chandrayaan-3 mission are threefold: a) to demonstrate safe and soft landing on lunar surface b) to demonstrate rover roving on the moon and c) to conduct in-situ scientific experiments.”
The minister recalled that the first in the series of Chandrayaan, namely Chandrayaan-1, is credited for having discovered the presence of water on the surface of the moon, which was a new revelation for the world and even the most premier space agencies like the USA’s NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) were fascinated by this discovery and used the inputs for their further experiments. Chandrayyan-3, he said, will be operating at the next level. The spacecraft will use Launch Vehicle Mark-3 developed by ISRO for its launch, he added.
Dr Jitendra said there is tremendous excitement across the country about the launch of Chandrayaan-3, particularly because Chandrayaan-2 Mission could not yield the desired results because of a lapse just about 13 minutes after the spacecraft began its descent on September 6, 2019. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was personally present at Sriharikota to witness the event. 
The minister said, “As a successor to Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3 has undergone a few changes to increase the robustness of the Lander. All these modifications have been subject to exhaustive ground tests and simulations through test beds.”
The Lander and Rover module of Chandrayaan-3 is also configured with payloads that would provide data to the scientific community on various properties of Lunar Soil and rocks including its chemical and elemental composition, Dr Singh said.
