Chanrayaan-3
Chandrayaan-3 is a lunar exploration mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is the third mission in the Chandrayaan series, following the successful Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2 missions. The primary objective of Chandrayaan-3 is to further explore the Moon's surface and enhance India's capabilities in space exploration.
The Chandrayaan-2 mission, launched in July 2019, had an orbiter, lander (Vikram), and rover (Pragyan). Unfortunately, the lander lost communication during the descent phase, and the mission did not achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface. Despite the setback, the orbiter continues to orbit the Moon and conduct scientific observations.
After the partial success of Chandrayaan-2, ISRO decided to plan and launch Chandrayaan-3 with improvements and lessons learned from the previous mission. The primary focus of Chandrayaan-3 is to attempt a successful soft landing on the Moon's surface.
