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.
