The spacecraft, after traveling about 1.5 million km from the Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1 which is considered closest to the Sun.

During the countdown process, the fuelling of the rocket -- liquid fuel -- will be done as well as checking of its systems.

In the video shared by air hostess Puja Shah on Instagram with the caption 'It is always a pleasure to have national heroes on our flight Mr S Somanath, Chairman of ISRO', the air hostess can be seen welcoming him through the flight's public address system.

For many kids in India, the moon is usually referred to Chandamama as their mothers show it to them while feeding them.

Chandrayaan-3's rover Pragyan captures Vikram lander image on Moon. ISRO shares achievement, NavCam by LEOS, vital unit designing sensors and optical systems for space missions.

It also said the instrument also detected aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon and oxygen, as expected.

After the success of Chandrayaan-3, ISRO is gearing up for Aditya-L1, the first space based Indian mission to study the Sun. The Aditya-L1 mission will be launched by ISRO’s PSLV XL rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC-SHAR) in Sriharikota on September 2nd.

India on August 23 reached the Moon with its lander safely landing on the lunar soil in a text book style.

It will be the first dedicated Indian space mission for observations of the Sun to be launched by the Bengaluru-headquartered space agency.

According to the space agency, Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) measured the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil around the south pole, to understand the thermal behaviour of the Moon's surface.

"Mission Chandrayaan has become a symbol of the spirit of New India which wants to ensure victory, and also knows how to win in any situation," the Prime Minister said in the 104th episode of his monthly broadcast programme.

Aditya-L1 spacecraft is designed for providing remote observations of the solar corona and in situ observations of the solar wind at L1 (Sun-Earth Lagrangian point), which is about 1.5 million kilometres from the earth.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while describing the efforts that were channelled towards the success of the Chandrayaan-3 Mission, on Saturday stated that the scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had built an artificial Moon at the worksite for experimentation.

After raising the slogan of "Bharat Mata ki Jai", the Prime Minister also raised the slogans of "Jai Vigyaan' Jai Anusandhan".

In a tweet, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said: “Lander Module payloads ILSA, RAMBHA and ChaSTE are turned ON today (Thursday).”
