Chandrayaan 3: India's Third Lunar Mission

India made the first step towards a lunar soft landing with the near-perfect Chandrayaan-3 launch.

The mission was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

The lander's voyage to the moon will take roughly 42 days.

The Chandrayaan 3 mission has the potential to help the economy.

It will draw a lot of investment to the sector in exchange for potentially higher profits.

The effort will open up a wide range of potential for Indian private space enterprises.

Once successful, could take India to the top league along with the US, Russia, and China.
