Sriharikota: Chandrayaan At Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota spaceport, three spacecraft have been connected with the GSLV Mark III launch vehicle. This was disclosed in a tweet from the Indian Space Research Organisation, or ISRO. Between December 12 and December 19, the launch is anticipated. The lander and rover configuration will be carried by the propulsion module up to a 100 kilometre lunar orbit. As it did in Chandrayaan I and II, the Propulsion module will orbit the Moon. A second attempt is being made by ISRO to softly plant the lander on the Moon’s surface and manoeuvre the rover around the lunar surface.
Since the lander crashed-landed on the Moon’s surface during the Chandrayaan 2 mission in 2019 owing to a software error, the Indian Space Agency has made enhancements to the lander. The payloads aboard Chandrayaan 3’s Lander will gently touch down on the moon while measuring the thermal conductivity and temperature, the seismic activity in the area, and the plasma density. The elemental makeup of the Rover payload will be derived from the area around the landing point.
