Chandrayaan-3 mission detailed timeline

Here is the detailed timeline of all of the developments within the Chandrayaan 3 mission.

• July 6: ISRO broadcasts Mission Chandrayaan-3 launch date of July 14 from Sriharikota’s second pad.

• July 7: Successful car electrical exams accomplished.

• July 11: Comprehensive 24-hour ‘Launch Rehearsal’ simulating the complete launch course of concludes.

• July 14: LVM3 M4 car launches Chandrayaan-3 into designated orbit.

• July 15: First orbit-raising manoeuvre profitable, reaching 41762 km x 173 km orbit.

• July 17: Second orbit-raising manoeuvre locations Chandrayaan-3 at 41603 km x 226 km orbit.

• July 22: Fourth orbit-raising manoeuvre establishes spacecraft in 71351 km x 233 km orbit.

• July 25: Another profitable orbit-raising manoeuvre.

• August 1: Chandrayaan-3 inserted into translunar orbit (288 km x 369328 km).

• August 5: Successful lunar orbit insertion (164 km x 18074 km).

• August 6: Lunar orbit lowered to 170 km x 4,313 km.

• August 9: ISRO rigorously strikes the spacecraft’s path decrease in its orbit across the moon. It has achieved a lunar orbit of 174 km x 1437 km

• August 14: Chandrayaan-3 will get nearer to the moon’s floor in one other managed bringing it in a orbit of 150 km x 177 km

• August 16: The Indian spacecraft performs the fifth and closing Moon-bound manoeuvre positioning itself in a close to round Lunar orbit of 163*153 km.

• August 17: The touchdown module, comprising the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover, will get separated from its propulsion system.

• August 18: Chandrayaan 3 efficiently accomplished a ‘deboosting’ operation that diminished its orbit to 113 km x 157 km

• August 20: The Chandrayaan-3 will make the ultimate orbit adjustment by lowering it to be round 134*25 km, the farthest and nearest level from the moon respectively.

• August 23: ISRO marked historical past with the profitable touchdown of the Vikram lander. All the techniques are performing as meant.
