Chandrayaan-3 mission: Here is how ISRO ensured a successful landing on the Moon

ISRO conducted a major simulation test for the Chandrayaan-3 mission before the successful landing on the Moon.

Chandrayaan-3 mission is one of the most successful missions by ISRO. Its landing on the Moon's south pole created history for everyone to remember.

However, the journey to the Moon was not easy for ISRO as during the Chandrayan-2 mission, they failed to make a soft landing.

But with all the learned lessons and experience from the previous mission, ISRO made a successful landing on the lunar surface with the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

According to The Hindu report, ISRO, before the launch, ISRO conducted a simulation test on the ground as part of rehearsals for the final landing.

Then after launch, ISRO carefully checked all the lander's systems in space to ensure they were functioning properly for the landing.

After all that hard work, the Chandrayaan-3 mission landed successfully on the lunar south pole, shocking everyone around the world. 

In a conference, Chandrayaan-3 mission Director M. Srikanth said that from sensors to engines and imaging, scientists made sure every piece was working well before the lander's historic moon landing.

While it was a big victory for ISRO, they are still waiting for the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover to wake up from their sleep. However, that is unlikely to happen now.

Thereafter Chandrayaan-3 mission propulsion module also travelled back to Earth’s orbit in an unplanned mission, making another milestone for India. 

Now, ISRO is working on the Chandrayaan-4 mission which will aim to bring the lunar sample back to Earth’s orbit.
