Chandrayaan-3 serves as a subsequent mission to Chandrayaan-2, aiming to showcase complete proficiency in the secure landing and exploration of the lunar terrain.

The highly anticipated Chandrayaan-3 mission of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is nearing its launch as preparations enter the final stages. Scheduled for July 13, Chandrayaan-3 will see the lander and rover, along with the LVM-3 rocket, lift off to the Moon. The assembly of the Chandrayaan-3 Lander took place at the ISRO Sriharikota Space Centre, where it was attached to the Heavy Launch Rocket. Notably, the lander and rover of Chandrayaan-3 will bear the same names as those of Chandrayaan-2, as reported by Hindusthan Samachar.

Following the incomplete mission of Chandrayaan-2, this upcoming endeavor aims to test the capability of a safe landing on the lunar surface. In the previous mission, Chandrayaan-2's lander experienced a harsh impact upon reaching Earth's surface, resulting in the loss of communication with the control room. Chandrayaan-3 has been designed to fulfill the objectives left unfinished by its predecessor. Once it lands on the moon's surface, the rover will deploy and explore its surroundings, while the lander will be named Vikram after the esteemed father of the Indian space program, Vikram Sarabhai. The rover, on the other hand, will be named Pragyan. These names mirror the nomenclature chosen for the lander and rover of Chandrayaan-2.

ISRO officials have stated that Chandrayaan-3 is the next undertaking after the unsuccessful Chandrayaan-2 mission. Its primary focus is to ensure a secure landing on the lunar surface. The mission's success relies on new equipment and improved algorithms, addressing the challenges encountered during Chandrayaan-2. The announcement of Chandrayaan-3's launch comes four years after the incident involving the Chandrayaan-2 lander-rover. 
The forthcoming Chandrayaan-3 mission, targeting the dark side of the Moon, is set to commence from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. This specific region is not visible from Earth. Chandrayaan-3 aims to demonstrate safe and soft landing capabilities, as well as the ability to traverse the lunar surface. Comprising a lander, a rover, and a propulsion module, Chandrayaan-3 has a total weight of 3,900 kg. The propulsion module alone weighs 2,148 kg and will propel the lander and rover to a lunar orbit of 100 km.

International Tiger Day 2023

International Tiger Day: Saving the Big Cat in India with Project Tiger On April 1, 1973, the Indira Gandhi administration introduced Project Tiger in an effort to advance tiger protection. As a result of unrestricted hunting and habitat degradation, the number of tigers in India was at an all-time low and was declining quickly at the time. In an effort to increase public awareness of numerous tiger conservation-related concerns, today, July 29, is observed as International Tiger Day. The 13 nations that make up the tiger range initially established Tx2—the worldwide target to double the population of wild tigers by the year 2022—in 2010 at the Tiger Summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. Tx2's objectives were supposed to be completed by last year, however there was unequal development. While Southeast Asian nations struggled to stop population loss, others, including India, did far better, according to the World Wildlife Fund.  "Political commitment is perhaps the most important c...
