How far is Chandrayaan-3 now?

Chandrayaan-3 today is a long way away from home.

Dear reader,

As I write this, we're told that Chandrayaan-3 has completed approximately two-thirds of its journey towards the moon.

The spacecraft is expected to enter the moon's orbit in less than 24 hours from now.

You can track all the mission updates with Swarajya’s 🚀 Chandrayaan-3 Dashboard.

And not just that — Swarajya’s print issue for this month is centred around Chandrayaan-3.

The stories penned by seasoned in-house writers like Aravindan Neelakandan and Prakhar Gupta explain why Chandrayaan-3’s journey to the Moon is prolonged compared to those who’ve gone before, put ISRO scientists’ temple visits ahead of the Chandrayaan-3 launch into proper perspective, take you on a journey of India’s cryogenic engine development, and explore what it would mean for India to have its Pragyan rover safely down and moving about on the lunar surface.
