The Chandrayaan-3 with a rocket LVM3 heavy-lift vehicle mated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is launched in the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota between July 13 and 19.
Chandrayaan-3 is chasing the Chandrayaan-2, which was India's first try to softly land a spacecraft on the Moon. Chandrayaan-2's lander, Vikram, lost contact with Earth during its descent to the lunar surface in September 2019.
Chandrayaan-3 will try to softly land on the Moon's South Pole, which is a neighbourhood that has not been explored by any other spacecraft. The mission will carry a spacecraft and a drifter, which will be used to study the lunar surface and atmosphere.
LVM3 is a heavy-lift launch vehicle carrying up to 4,000 kg of weight. The mission will help India to research the Moon and a better understanding of the lunar environment.
The important facts about the Chandrayaan-3:
The spacecraft consists of three modules: a strength module, a satellite and a maverick.
The propulsion module will provide the spacecraft with the necessary thrust to reach the Moon.
The lander will soft-land on the lunar surface.
The rover will explore the lunar surface.
The mission will help to understand the Moon's activity and to cover the way for future lunar exploration.
