ISRO Chandrayaan 3 mission live streaming details: The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission is scheduled to launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh at 2.35 PM IST on Friday, July 14. Here is how you can watch the event live.

The launch of the LVM-3 (Launch Vehicle Mark – III) carrying the Chandrayaan-3 mission’s lander, rover and propulsion module will be streamed on ISRO’s website and YouTube channel. You can catch it through the link below when it goes live at 2 PM IST on July 14. You can also visit indianexpress.com for live updates about the mission as it happens.

What to expect during the livestream

Chandrayaan-3 is the successor of the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which crashed into the lunar surface in September 2019. Just like its predecessor, Chandrayaan-3 consists of a lander and rover configuration, which will be carried to a 100-kilometre lunar orbit by a propulsion module.

The primary objective of the mission is to demonstrate a safe soft landing on the moon for the mission’s Vikram lander. If ISRO pulls that off, India will just be the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, joining a list that includes the United States, the erstwhile Soviet Union and China. Private space company-led attempts to achieve a lunar soft landing from Israel and Japan have failed in the recent past, just like India’s previous attempt.

Both the lander and rover carry many scientific payloads. While the main function of the propulsion module is to carry the mission into its final lunar orbit after the launch vehicle completes injection, it also carries a scientific payload which will begin operation after the lander separates.
