CHANDRAYAN III

India's space prowess is set to reach new heights with the

eagerly anticipated Chandrayaan-3 mission. Building on

the successes of Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2, this

mission represents a significant milestone in space

technology.

Chandrayaan-3's primary goal is to return to the Moon's

surface, but with a streamlined focus. Unlike its

predecessor, it omits the orbiter and lander components,
reducing complexity and cost.

The lander, Vikram 2.0, will carry a suite of scientific

instruments to study the lunar surface, including a rover,

Pragyan 2.0, which will explore the Moon's terrain, analyze

its composition, and conduct experiments.
