Chandrayaan-3 a shot in the arm for Gaganyaan-1

The perfect launch of Chandrayaan-3 on Friday has come as a shot in the arm for Gaganyaan-1. For, a modified version of the same rocket — LVM-3 — will be used for India’s maiden manned mission. “LVM-3 has injected Chandrayaan-3 into the precise orbit, once again proving it is the most reliable heavy-lift vehicle of Isro,” said S Mohan Kumar, project director of LVM-3 and mission director of Friday’s launch.
