The much-anticipated launch of Chandrayaan-3, a significant mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), is set to take place on July 14.

Isro has extended an invitation to Indian citizens to participate in this historic event, offering them a chance to witness the launch from the Launch View Gallery in Sriharikota.

To secure an exclusive viewing experience, interested individuals can register at the specified link.

The stadium-shaped launch-view gallery, which can accommodate up to 5,000 people, provides a clear line of sight to the two launch pads.

Spectators will have the opportunity to witness the launches with their naked eyes in real time.

To enhance understanding, large screens have been strategically positioned to visually explain the intricate details of the launcher and satellites.

These screens will also broadcast pre and post-launch activities, providing valuable insights to the viewers.

The launch-view gallery will feature impressive models of various Isro launch vehicles. Additionally, photo points and lawns will be created for visitors to enjoy.

The rocket garden, complete with a central fountain, will add to the charm of the experience.

The Sriharikota Space Port, known as the Space Port of India, naturally attracts tourists who are eager to witness the launch procedures and support the pride of our nation.

The launch view gallery can accommodate thousands of viewers, ensuring a memorable experience for all.

Visitors can also explore the Space Museum, which provides an insightful account of the Indian Space Programme from its inception.

Divided into six sections covering history, education, technology, applications, global initiatives, and the future, the museum offers a comprehensive narrative of the Indian space journey.

To sign up for the Chandrayaan-3 launch event, individuals are required to bring government-issued identification such as Aadhar cards or driving licenses.

During the registration process, visitors must provide details about the number of attendees, their personal information, mobile number, and email address.

For those unable to attend in person, Isro will be live-streaming the launch on their YouTube channel.

Additionally, the launch will be telecast on Doordarshan for viewers watching from the comfort of their homes.

Scheduled for July 14 at 2:35 pm, the Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to showcase the end-to-end capability of safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.

The spacecraft, launched by the Launch Vehicle Mark-III, consists of three modules: propulsion, lander, and rover, with the rover housed inside the lander.

The anticipated soft landing on the Moon is expected to occur on August 23 or 24.
