In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today, he said, the realisation of Chandrayaan-3 is in progress.
"The realization of Chandrayaan-3 involves various processes including finalization of configuration, subsystems realization, integration, spacecraft level detailed testing, and a number of special tests to evaluate the system performance on earth," the minister said.
He stated that the realisation progress was hampered due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"However, all works that were possible in work from home mode were taken up even during lockdown periods. Chandrayaan-3 realization resumed after commencement of unlock period and is in matured stage of realization," read the reply.
