The Chandrayaan 3's upper stage re-entered Earth's atmosphere over the North Pacific Ocean, as per ISRO's prediction. Launched on July 14, the lunar mission achieved a historic controlled landing near the South Pole. The rocket body's re-entry, 124 days after launch, adheres to the 25-year rule for space debris. ISRO emphasized compliance with international guidelines, including passivation to reduce explosion risks. This reaffirms India's commitment to responsible space activities and long-term outer space sustainability.

00:00 The Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO has confirmed that the upper stage of the
00:06 Chandrayaan-3 launch vehicle re-entered Earth's atmosphere over the North Pacific Ocean as
00:12 anticipated.
00:13 The cryogenic upper stage of the LVM-3M4 launch vehicle experienced uncontrolled re-entry
00:18 at approximately 1442 IST on Wednesday, adhering to the 25-year rule recommended by the Inter-Agency
00:26 Space Debris Coordination Committee.
00:28 Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar mission, commenced on July 14, 2023 with the Vikram
00:33 Lander and Pragyan Rover landing on the moon's surface on August 23.
00:37 This achievement marked India as the first country to land near the lunar south pole
00:42 and the fourth country with a controlled lunar landing.
00:45 Following 10 days of lunar exploration, the Lander and the rover entered sleep mode while
00:50 the propulsion module continued orbiting the moon after separating from the Lander.
00:55 ISRO emphasised its commitment to international guidelines for space debris mitigation, with
01:00 the rocket body undergoing passivation post-Chandrayaan-3 injection to eliminate residual propellant
01:06 and energy sources.
