India s third mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-3 will most likely be delayed further and shall be launched in the year 2022, said ISRO chief K Sivan.
Chandrayaan-3 is among the several space projects of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that were affected because of the Covid-19 lockdown.
Unlike its predecessor, Chandrayaan-3 will not have an orbiter.
All experiments carried by Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, India’s second moon mission, have gone well with excellent capability to deliver on the pre-launch promises , said the country’s space agency on Monday.
Chandrayaan-2 was launched on July 22, 2019 from Sriharikota. The Orbiter, which was injected into a lunar orbit on September 2 2019, carries 8 experiments to develop and demonstrate the key technologies for end-to-end lunar mission capability, including soft-landing and roving on the lunar surface. The Indian Space Research Organisation said the data was archived at a data centre near Bengaluru and was prepared in the globally-followed standard of Planetary Data System-4 (PDS4) format after a peer-reviewed scientific study.
