India plans to be the first country in history to set foot on the Moon's South Pole and the fourth nation to make a successful landing on the Moon's surface.
A follow-up mission to Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3 intends to make a soft landing at the south pole of the moon.
Because Chandrayaan-3 is LVM3's fourth operational mission, it is often referred to as the LVM3-M4 mission.
The three phases of Chandrayaan-3 are the Moon-centric phase, the lunar transfer phase, and the Earth-centric phase.
The GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle), also known as Launch Vehicle Mark III, is the vehicle that launched the moon lander Vikram.
The lander will touch down on the moon’s surface with a horizontal velocity of less than 5 metre per second, a vertical velocity of less than two metre per second
The components of Chandrayaan-3 are a propulsion module, a Rover Pragyan, and a Lander Vikram, which bears Vikram Sarabhai's name.
Two spectrometers are carried by the six-wheeled rover, which uses solar power to explore the moon's surface. These instruments are used to analyze the surface's chemical composition.
The Chandrayaan-3 Vikram Lander has four scientific equipment on board to understand the conditions better.
The craft's total weight is 3,900 kg, of which the propulsion weighs 2148 kg and the combined weight of the lander and Rover is 1752 kg.
