‘India, I reached my destination’: Chandrayaan-3 says after moon landing – the tech that made it all possible

[ad_1] It took India about four years, and one heartbreak to launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14, 2023.

But the Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO) is confident of success this time around because of its “failure-based” design. So, what are the mistakes that ISRO wants to avoid during the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the lessons it has learned, and what changes it has made to ensure ...
