The interview highlighted ISRO’s determination to overcome challenges and achieve success, showcasing their unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of space exploration. Excerpts:
Q: Big announcements have come from ISRO about the launch of Chandrayaan-3 on 14 July. Can you provide some details about the big launch that has been announced by ISRO?
A: See, the launch is on 14 July in the afternoon. We had a window from 12-19 July. So, the current schedule of work is leading to 14 July. It was originally on 13 July. Then, we are hoping the lift-off takes place on the scheduled time. Then we have a possibility of landing on the first opportunity. That is by the beginning of 23 August. Maybe that also has a window. So that’s what we are expecting.
