Chandrayaan-3 launch today: Timeline of moon missions undertaken by Isro

Here is the timeline of the moon mission as undertaken by the Indian Space Research Organisation. August 15, 2003: Then Prime Minister, the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee announces the Chandrayaan programme. October 22, 2008: Chandrayaan-1 takes off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota. November 8, 2008: Chandrayaan-1 enters a Lunar Transfer Trajectory. November 14, 2008: The Moon impact probe ejects from Chandrayaan-1 and crashes near the lunar South Pole -- confirming the presence of water molecules on Moon's surface. August 28, 2009: End of Chandrayaan 1 programme as per ISRO. July 22, 2019: Chandrayaan-2 launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. August 20, 2019: Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft inserted into lunar orbit. September 2, 2019: Vikram Lander was separated while orbiting the moon in a 100kms lunar polar orbit, however, communication from the lander to the ground stations was lost at an altitude of 2.1 km from the surface of the moon.

Flashback to Chandrayaan-2: What went wrong with previous lunar mission

Chandrayaan-2 lander was launched on July 22, 2019 and was supposed to make a soft landing on the moon on September 7. However, the spacecraft crash-landed on moon's surface due to a software glitch

Chandrayaan-3: Tremendous excitement across the country, Science Min says

Chandrayaan-2 spectrometer maps abundance of sodium on moon for 1st time

The X-ray spectrometer 'CLASS' on the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter has mapped an abundance of sodium on the moon for the first time, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (C1XS) detected sodium from its characteristic line in X-rays which opened up the possibility of mapping the amount of sodium on the Moon, it said. In a recent work published in 'The Astrophysical Journal Letters', Chandrayaan-2 mapped the abundance of sodium on the Moon for the very first time using CLASS (Chandrayaan-2 Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer), the national space agency said in a statement on Friday. "Built at the U R Rao Satellite Centre of ISRO in Bengaluru, CLASS provides clean signatures of the sodium line thanks to its high sensitivity and performance," the statement said. The study finds that a part of the signal could be arising from a thin veneer of sodium atoms weakly bound to the lunar grains. These sodium atoms can be nudged out
