Detik-detik India Sukses Luncurkan Roket ke Bulan

Indian spacecraft Chandrayaan-3, the word for moon craft in Sanskrit, blasts off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, Friday, July 14, 2023. The Indian spacecraft blazed its way to the far side of the moon Friday in a follow-up mission to its failed effort nearly four years ago to land a rover softly on the lunar surface, the countrys space agency said.

Pendarat ISRO tersebut diperkirakan akan mencapai Bulan pada 23-24 Agustus 2023. Jika pendaratan wahana antariksa itu berjalan sukses, maka India akan bersanding sejajar dengan Amerika Serikat, Uni Soviet, dan China yang telah lebih dulu sukses mendaratkan wahana mereka di satelit alami Bumi tersebut.
