The ISRO team performed a puja ceremony, using a miniature model of the spacecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scheduled for launch on Friday at 2:35 p.m. from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Chandrayaan-3 aims to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface and conduct exploration using a rover. If successful, India will become the fourth country, following the United States, Russia, and China, to accomplish this remarkable feat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously, both Israeli and Indian missions experienced crash landings in 2019, while a Japanese spacecraft carrying a lander-rover and a UAE rover failed in 2022. Based on the lessons learned from these missions, ISRO scientists have made improvements to the lander&#8217;s design after a series of rigorous tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offering prayers at the Tirupati temple has become a customary practice for ISRO scientists before embarking on significant missions, seeking divine blessings for their success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, July 13 : Ahead of India&#8217;s upcoming lunar mission, scientists from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) visited the Venkatachalapathy Temple in Tirupati to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54,22],"tags":[1940,1032,1939,1033,1941],"class_list":["post-41153","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-latest-news","category-national","tag-chandrayaan-3","tag-earlypostdaily","tag-isro-scientists","tag-latestnews","tag-tirupati-temple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41153"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41155,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41153\/revisions\/41155"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
