ISRO's Chandrayaan is all set to soar towards the moon in its third expedition on Friday, July 14.

The 'Fat boy' LVM3-M4 rocket will carry Chandrayaan-3 as part of the country's ambitious moon mission.

Chandrayaan-3 is the third lunar exploration mission ready for take off in the fourth operational mission of the LVM3 launcher.

A success would make India only the fourth country to achieve the feat after the United States, the former Soviet Union and China.

Earlier, in 2019, Chandrayaan-2 failed to achieve the desired soft landing on the moon surface leaving the ISRO team dejected.
