Basic objective of Chandrayaan-3 mission
On 23rd August 2023, Chandrayaan-3, the third Indian lunar exploration mission, had landed successfully near the South pole area of Moon as planned by our national space agency ISRO.The lander module named Vikram is carrying with it a rover named Pragyan and this rover will come out and move on the Moon's surface and collect scientific data about the minerals, rocks, and other material as present on Moon's surface. That is the basic objective of this expedition.
This region being near the South Pole of Moon, gets limited sunlight and and is ideal for studies for presence of ice and water on Moon. This is the first time that a lander is landed on Moon so near the South Pole.
The whole scientific community across the globe is waiting eagerly for the scientific data from this expedition.
India became the fourth country after US, Russia, and China to achieve landing on Moon and first to land it in the vicinity of South Pole.
Congratulations team ISRO and we all feel proud of this achievement.
