New Delhi: India’s third lunar mission, Chandrayaan -3, is scheduled to launch in 12th and 19th July 2023, reveals ISRO Chief S Somanath. The mission will consist of a lander and rover, similar to Chandrayaan -2, but without an orbiter. The lander will touch down on the lunar surface near the south pole, while the rover will explore the surrounding area.
The primary objective of Chandrayaan -3 is to demonstrate the ability to soft land on the moon and to conduct scientific experiments on the lunar surface. The lander will carry a variety of instruments, including a seismometer, a spectrometer, and a heat flow probe. The rover will also carry a number of scientific instruments, including a camera, a spectrometer, and a drill.
The Chandrayaan -3 mission is a significant milestone for India’s space program. It will be the first time that India has landed a spacecraft on the moon since Chandrayaan -2 in 2019. The mission will also help India to gain experience in developing and operating complex spacecraft.
The success of Chandrayaan -3 will be a major boost for India’s space program and will help to position India as a leading player in the global space race. The mission will also help to inspire young people in India and around the world to pursue careers in science and engineering.
The Chandrayaan -3 mission is expected to have a number of benefits for India, including improved understanding of the moon’s geology and composition, development of new technologies for future space missions, increased international cooperation in space exploration, inspiration for young people to pursue careers in science and engineering
