Mission

CHANDRAYAAN 3

Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. It consists of Lander and Rover configuration. It will be launched by LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.

Project

Bhoonidhi

Bhoonidhi enables access to our extensive archive of Remote Sensing data from 46 satellites, including Indian and Foreign Remote Sensing sensors acquired over 33 years.

ABOUT ISRO

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the space agency of India. The organisation is involved in science, engineering and technology to harvest the benefits of outer space for India and the mankind. ISRO is a major constituent of the Department of Space (DOS), Government of India. The department executes the Indian Space Programme primarily through various Centres or units within ISRO. ISRO was previously the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR), set up by the Government of India in 1962, as envisioned by Dr. VikramA Sarabhai. ISRO was formed on August 15, 1969 and superseded INCOSPAR with an expanded role to harness space technology. DOS was set up and ISRO was brought under DOS in 1972.

A brief summary of India's Three Chandrayaan missions:

CHANDRAYAAN-1 (2008)

India's first lunar probe, aimed to create a detailed 3D atlas of the Moon's surface and conduct high-resolution chemical and mineralogical mapping. It made a significant discovery of water molecules on the lunar surface.

CHANDRAYAAN-2 (2019)

This mission included an orbiter, a lander named Vikram, and a rover named Pragyan. While the orbiter continues to study the Moon, the lander and rover faced a hard landing, impacting the mission's complete success.

CHANDRAYAAN-3 (2023)

Marking a historic achievement, Chandrayaan-3 successfully soft-landed on the Moon's south pole, a region previously unexplored. The mission demonstrated India's advanced capabilities in space technology and lunar exploration⁵.

These missions collectively enhance our understanding of the Moon and demonstrate India's growing prowess in space exploration.
