Chandrayaan-3 Will Not Repeat The Mistakes Of Predecessor: ISRO Chief
NDTV
Several scenarios including engine failure, sensor failure, calculation failure, and algorithm failure were examined.
ISRO Chief S Somnath is confident that the Chandrayaan-3 mission could catapult India into the list of nations to achieve a controlled landing on the moon. Currently, there are only three countries on that list - Russia, the United States, and China.
Chandrayaan-3 will take off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 2.45 pm on Friday. The prime objective of the mission is to land a rover on the moon to explore the lunar surface.
The latest iteration of the Chandrayaan comes four years after an earlier attempt failed, with the ground crew losing contact moments before landing.
