Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing | ISRO | Vikram Lander | India's 3rd Lunar Mission
Chandrayaan-3 is India's third lunar mission. It aims to soft-land a lander and rover on the Moon's south pole, which is thought to be rich in water ice. The mission will also study the lunar surface and its composition, and investigate the lunar environment.
The mission was launched on July 14, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India.
The lander, named Vikram, and the rover, named Pragyan, are scheduled to land on the Moon's south pole on August 23, 2023.
The mission is expected to last for two weeks.
The main science goals of Chandrayaan-3 are to:
Study the lunar south pole, which is thought to be rich in water ice.
Characterize the lunar surface and its composition.
Investigate the lunar environment.
Lay the groundwork for future human exploration of the Moon.
The success of Chandrayaan-3 would be a major milestone for India's space program and would help to position India as a leading player in lunar exploration. The mission would also provide valuable data about the Moon's south pole, which could be used to plan future human missions to the Moon.
