CHANDRAYAAN3
1. Chandrayaan-3 is the next mission after Chandrayaan-2, which
aims to land safely and explore the moon's surface. It consists of
a lander and rover that will be launched into space by a rocket
called LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. Chadrayaan-2, which
was launched in 2019, consisted of an orbiter, a lander, and the
Pragyan rover. Unfortunately, because of a software glitch,the
craft lost all communications just minutes before it was
supposed to land; it deviated from its intended trajectory and
crashed. Though it was not a complete failure, the orbiter is still
functionaland provides valuable data to the organisation.

2. The GSLV Mark 3 heavy-lift launch vehicle, also known as the
Bahubali rocket, will support the moon lander Vikram. The GSLV,
now known as Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LM-3), is 43.5 metres tall.
The spacecraft is scheduled to touch down on the moon on
August 23 after a voyage that will last more than 40 days.
, 3. India has conducted successful lunar missions before. In
2008, ISRO launched Chadrayaan-1, India's first lunar mission,
which was a major success and whose findings shocked the
whole world. It was during this mission that the presence of
water molecules was discovered on the surface of the moon.
4.Chandrayaan-3 launched at 2:35 PM IST on July 14, 2023, from
the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
The spacecraft was launched by the Launch Vehicle Mark-lll
(LVM3), and carries a lander and a rover. After landing on the
surface in August, the rover will then deploy and explore the lunar
surface. The craft is set to land on the South Pole of the Moon,
where Chandrayaan-1 discovered the presence of water
molecules.
