All eyes are currently on Chandrayaan 3. People are in a frenzy to know Chandrayaan 3 current location live. Since Indian Space Research Organization launched its third attempt to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, people have been keenly following the updates of Chandrayaan 3’s current location live. If you are also scrambling to the internet regarding the same, this article is for you. India is on a mission to join the exclusive list of countries that have successfully landed softly on the moon. Most recently, China successfully landed on the moon and The United States and the erstwhile Soviet Union are the other two countries that also have achieved a soft landing on the moon. If ISRO’s Chandrayaan 3 mission accomplishes, India will be the fourth country to achieve the same. You are asked to stick with this page and go through this article till the end.

Chandrayaan 3 Current Location Live
Kindly note that India is not only the single country that could not successfully softly land on the Moon on the first attempt as both the Soviet Union and the United States also went through multiple spacecraft crashes before successfully landing on the Moon. But China is the only country to successfully land on the Moon in its first attempt. In 2013, China became the third country to land successfully with the Chang’e-3 Mission. India will only join the exclusive list of countries to successfully land on the Moon if Chandrayaan 3 passes several critical events ahead including earth-bound maneuvers, insertion into the lunar orbit, separation of the lander, a series of deboost maneuvers, and a power descent phase for a soft landing.
