Chandrayaan-3 to be launched in August, Isro to lift off 19 missions in 2022

Over two years after its second Moon mission had a fatal end on the lunar surface, the Indian Space & Research Organisation (Isro) is set to launch Chandrayaan-3 in August this year. The timeline was released by the Department of Space in response to questions around the delay of the Moon mission in the Lok Sabha.

The Department of Space in a written response said that based on the lessons from the Chandrayaan-2 mission and suggestions from global experts, work is underway on Chandrayaan-3. The department further said that it has completed the required tests and the launch is scheduled for August 2022.
