This is India’s third lunar mission, conducted by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

According to the ISRO website, Chandrayaan-3 will have three major objectives.

One is to demonstrate safe and soft landing on the surface of the moon.

The second is to demonstrate rover operations on the moon. And the third objective is to conduct in-situ scientific experiments on the lunar surface.

14th July 2023 will always be etched in golden letters as far as India’s space sector is concerned. Chandrayaan-3, our third lunar mission, will embark on its journey.
