- Chandrayaan 3
Chandrayaan-3, ISRO’s follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 was a successful demonstration of end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. Launched by the LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota, the propulsion module carried the lander and rover configuration till a 100 km lunar orbit, to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.
Playing a critical role in the launch of LVM3 M4 for Chandrayaan 3 needed a leap of technology and precision engineering that demanded our very best. With sub systems that we manufactured at our state-of-the-art facilities and tested to perfection, with system integration of the launch vehicle and mission tracking with the C&S band radar, we made a leap that pushed the limits and created history.
L&T’s contribution to Chandrayaan 3:
- The critical booster segments - head end segment, middle segment and nozzle bucket flange - manufactured and proof pressure tested at L&T’s Facility in Powai.
- Supply of ground and flight umbilical plates, manufactured at L&T’s Aerospace Manufacturing Facility at Coimbatore.
- Launch vehicle and Satellite Integration at SHAR.
- Launch tracking with C&S band Radar.
- 32 mm Antenna at Bayalalu for deep space networking
The space hardware fulfilled the stringent quality and timeline requirements for India’s third Moon mission, with all subsystems delivered ahead of schedule.
That’s not all, L&T, as a long-term trusted partner of ISRO, has been involved in every mission of ISRO, including the Chandrayaan-1 and 2, Gaganyaan and Mangalyaan missions. A partnership we are deeply proud of and committed to.
