Introduction

Chandrayaan 3 is the 3rd lunar mission, by the India
Space Research Organisation [ISRO].It was launched on
July 14 2023,from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in
Sriharikota.The mission’s main goal is to soft land a
lander and rover on the lunar surface.The lander is
named Pragyan.The mission will also carry a number of
scientific instrument ,to study the Moon’s surface and
environment
Introduction

Chandrayaan 3, launched to moon in August to 23,
2023.It will help India to learn more about the Moon and
it’s resources. The scientific instruments on chandrayaan3, will study the Moon’s surface and environment. They
will look for signs of water, Ice on the Moon, and they
will study the Moon’s geology and mineralogy. The
instrument will also study the Moon’s atmosphere and
dust. Chandrayaan-3 is a proud moment for India and it’s
space programme
Objective

To achieve safe and soft landing on the lunar surface ,to
demonstrate the rover’s mobility on the Moon, and to
conduct in-situ scientific Experiments
Chandrayaan-3 Design

Chandrayaan-3 comprises 3 main components:


Propulsion module
The propulsion module carries the lander and rover
configuration to a 100km [62 mi] lunar orbit. It is a boxlike structure with a large solar panel mounted on one
side and a cylindrical mounting structure for the lander
[the Intermodular Adapter Cone] on top

LANDER

The Vikram lander is responsible for the soft landing on
the Moon. It is also box-shaped with four landing legs
and four landing thrusters capable of producing 800
newtons of thrust each. It carries the rover and various
scientific instruments to perform one-site analysis

ROVER

The Pragyan rover is a six-wheeled vehicle with a mass
of 26 km [57pounds]. It is 917 mm[3.009ft]x 750mm [2.46
ft]x397 mm[1.302ft] in size. The rover is expected to take
multiple measurements to support research into the
composition of the lunar surface, the presence of water
ice in the lunar soil, the history of lunar impacts, and the
evolution of the Moon’s atmosphere
