India is hoping for a more successful outcome this time around after a failed attempt to land safely on the Moon back in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>This new mission is called \u201cChandrayaan-3\u201d and lifted off at 2:35 p.m. IST (5:05 a.m. EDT). The name of the mission comes from the Sanskrit words \u201cChandra- Moon, Yaan-vehicle,\u201d according to the ISRO. It launched aboard the Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM3) from the Second Launch Pad at SDSC-SHAR in Sriharikota, India.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q2ueCg9bvvQ\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The primary payload is an uncrewed lander carrying a suite of payloads, including a small rover. According to the mission profile from the ISRO, both the lander and the rover are expected to have a mission life of just one lunar day, which translates to 14 Earth days.<\/p>\n<p>The lander has a mass of 1,749.86 kg (about 3,858 lbs), which includes the 26 kg (57 lbs) rover. The craft is intended to land at 69.37 S, 32.35 E in the southern hemisphere of the Moon.<\/p>\n<p>This mission also comes just a few weeks after India became the 27th country to sign the Artemis Accords during a state visit to Washington D.C. The Accords stem from the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 and are designed to create a set of principals for peacefully exploring the Moon, Mars and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India\u2019s Chandrayaan-3 moon mission lifts off from the Sriharikota space center.
