    Study Notes

    Overview

    • Chandrayaan 3 is India's third lunar exploration mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
    • Launched on July 14, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

    Mission Objectives

    • To demonstrate the ability to perform a soft landing on the Moon.
    • To conduct scientific experiments on the lunar surface.

    Key Components

    1. Lander (Vikram):
      • Designed for a soft landing on the Moon.
      • Equipped with scientific instruments to study the lunar surface.
    2. Rover (Pragyan):
      • Capable of moving on the lunar surface and performing in-situ analysis.
      • Equipped with spectrometers and other tools for soil composition analysis.

    Launch Details

    • Utilized the GSLV Mk III rocket.
    • Placed into a highly elliptical Earth orbit before trans-lunar injection.

    Key Achievements

    • Successfully soft-landed on the Moon’s South Pole region on August 23, 2023.
    • First mission to land near the lunar South Pole, an area of significant scientific interest.
