India is set to launch its third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, on July 14, 2023. The mission will consist of a lander and a rover, and will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The mission is an extraordinary testament to the nation’s commitment towards scientific exploration and innovation.
Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-up to the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which successfully orbited the Moon in 2019. However, the lander failed to soft-land on the lunar surface. Chandrayaan-3 will attempt to soft-land on the Moon’s south pole, where no previous mission has landed.
The lander will carry a number of scientific instruments, including a spectrometer to study the lunar surface, a camera to take images of the Moon, and a magnetometer to measure the Moon’s magnetic field. The rover will be equipped with a drill to collect samples of the lunar soil.
Here are some of the key goals of Chandrayaan-3:
* To soft-land on the Moon’s south pole
* Deploy a rover to explore the lunar surface
* Collect samples of the lunar soil
* Study the Moon’s geology and composition
* To search for signs of water on the Moon
The launch of Chandrayaan-3 is a significant milestone for India’s space program. It is the country’s third lunar mission, and it will be the first to attempt a soft-landing on the Moon’s south pole. The success of Chandrayaan-3 would be a major achievement for India’s space program. It would also help to advance our understanding of the Moon and its history.
