More on Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing

The Chandrayaan programme also known as the Indian Lunar Exploration Programme is an ongoing series of outer space missions by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the exploration of the Moon. The programme incorporates lunar orbiter, impactor, soft lander and rover spacecraft.

Chandrayaan 3 is the third project in the on going porogramme. Chandrayaan-1 was the first Indian lunar probe under the programme which was launched in October 2008. Chandrayaan-2 had failed as the lander crashed when it deviated from its intended trajectory while attempting to land on September 6, 2019, making Chandrayaan-3 a crucial event.

The Chandrayaan-3 lander is aiming to land at the start of daytime on the Moon, which extends to 14 Earth days. The instruments on the spacecraft are all solar powered and are designed to function for one lunar day, or a 14-day period on Earth.
