ISRO begins a new chapter in the new year by starting its mission to the MOON- Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan–III mission has been configured based on the lessons learned from Chadrayaan – II,” Union Minister Jitendra Singh said in a written response to a question in Lok Sabha.ISRO is currently working on the Chandrayaan-3 project simultaneously with India’s first manned lunar mission—Gaganyaan.In his reply, Singh said that the revised configuration in Chandrayaan-3 takes care of the robustness in design, capacity enhancement for mission flexibility and at the same time retained the heritage of Chandrayaan-II to the extent possible, news agency PTI reported. ISRO aims to explore the South Pole of the moon for presence of water through its lunar space missions. For reprint rights: Indian Space Research Organisation chief K Sivan. The Chandrayaan-3 mission is slated to launch in 2021.K Sivan said that the Chandrayaan-3’s configuration will be similar to that of its predecessor, the Chandrayaan-2. Earlier this year in January, ISRO chairman India’s ambitious project that aimed to land a spacecraft on the moon remained unfulfilled as the Vikram lander onboard the Chandrayaan-2 mission, launched in July last year, failed to make a soft-landing on Moon. ISRO is currently working on the Chandrayaan-3 project simultaneously with India’s first manned lunar mission–Gaganyaan. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is currently working on the Chandrayaan -3 project which might be pushed to 2021 as opposed to the earlier speculation of a 2020 launch. Indian Space Research Organisation chief K Sivan on Wednesday announced that India’s third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3 is on and has been approved by the government. ISRO chairman K Sivan on Wednesday said, “Government has approved Chandrayaan-3, the project is ongoing. ISRO plans to launch Chandrayaan 3 between 2020 and 2021.

The entire cost of the mission, however, will be Rs 250 plus 365 crores, K Sivan said.The total cost of the Chandrayaan-2 mission was Rs 960 crore.K Sivan also said that preparations for the Gaganyaan mission are going on simultaneously with the Chandrayaan-3 mission.Gaganyaan is an Indian crewed orbital spacecraft that is intended to send 3 astronauts to space for a minimum of seven days by 2022, as part of the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme.The spacecraft, which is being developed by the Isro, consists of a service module and a crew module, collectively known as the Orbital Module.K Sivan, in the press conference, also spoke about the possible reasons which led to the crash landing of Chandrayaan-2's Vikram lander.He said that while the rough breaking phase went as it was supposed to go, the velocity was not reduced in the second phase due to which, in the third phase, the lander went out of control leading to a hard landing.Chandrayaan-2's lander Vikram and rover were scheduled to land on the near side of the Moon, in the south polar region September 6 last year and conduct scientific experiments for one lunar day, which approximates two Earth weeks.However, Vikram lander deviated from its intended trajectory lost communication when touchdown confirmation was expected.

It had However, the Orbiter module of Chandrayaan-2, which is meant to orbit the moon and collect observational data over the next seven years, has been functioning normally.Elaborating on the progress made on the Gaganyaan project, Singh said hardware realisation has commenced for ground tests. Here's everything we know about the next moon landing mission. On the landing location of the Chandrayaan-3, K Sivan said that Isro is planning for landing at the same location as the Chandrayaan-2, the lander of which crash-landed on the moon surface just moments before it was supposed to soft-land. Apart from the Chandrayaan-3, Isro chief K Sivan also mentioned that there will be more than space 25 missions this year.
