PICS: Chandrayan-3 Rover To Leave Ashoka's Lion Emblem Imprint On Moon Surface

The Indian Space Research Organisation today launched its ambitious Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh. 'Fat boy' LVM3-M4 rocket took off with Chandrayaan-3 as part of the country's ambitious moon mission. The soft landing on the moon's surface is planned for late August. Scientists at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre are aiming at mastering the technology of soft-landing on the surface of the moon. Success would make India only the fourth country to achieve the feat after the United States, China and the former Soviet Union. Chandrayaan-3 is the third lunar exploration mission ready for takeoff in the fourth operational mission (M4) of the LVM3 launcher. While all these things will be on cards, do you know that the rover Pragyan will leave two imprints on the surface - one of Ashoka's Lion Emblem and the second of ISRO's logo?
