The historic launch of Chandrayaan-3 is scheduled for July 14 and the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has invited Indian citizens to participate. Isro has announced that spectators can witness the launch from the Launch View Gallery at SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota.
The registration link is lvg.shar.gov.in/VSCREGISTRATIO, and interested parties can register there for an exclusive viewing experience.
The stadium-shaped launch-view gallery at the Sriharikota can accommodate 5,000 people. It provides a clear line of sight to the two launch pads of the Sriharikota Range. Visitors can see launches with their naked eyes in real-time from this gallery.
In order to visually explain the various intricacies of launcher and satellites, large screens are also positioned. Additionally, pre and post-launch activities are broadcast and explained to the viewers through these screens.
