Shocking video of Chandrayaan-3 launch from aircraft goes viral; Netizens say ‘this is the best view’

On July 14, 2023, we saw the exciting launch of Chandrayaan-3 mission. We got goosebumps when the rocket lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) in Sriharikota. People across the country watched the event through their phones or by being present at the launch site. But there were some lucky people who got an incredible opportunity to see it from an airplane.

The moment of take-off during the flight from Chennai to Dhaka was captured on camera from the window of the aircraft. Dr. PV Venkatakrishnan, retired Director of Materials, ISRO and an expert in rocket manufacturing, shared the video on Twitter. Take a look below:

Nevertheless, the journey from Earth to the Moon is estimated to last about a month as part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, with an estimated landing date of August 23. If the mission is successful, India will gain the distinction of being the fourth nation. The first to land on the Moon, and specifically the first to land on the South Pole.
