Live: India launches rocket for moon mission Chandrayaan 3 | DW News

India's space agency is launching a rocket attempting to land a rover on the moon currently scheduled to launch on 14 July 2023. This marks the country's arrival as a power in space exploration and the new frontier of space commerce. Only the United States, the former Soviet Union and China have made successful lunar landings.

Chandrayaan 3 is an ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) mission with the primary objective of putting a lander and rover in the highlands near the south pole of the Moon in the August 2023 timeframe and demonstrating end-to-end landing and roving capabilities.

I remember a German program. I was still a student in Germany. India had planned its first moon mission. A television presenter named Stefan Raab made fun of the mission. He said, "Is India going to do the mission with a rickshaw?" It's good to see that DW is broadcasting live.
