About The Chandrayaan-3 Mission
The GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle from ISRO will launch the mission. LVM-3 is a hybrid of a lander, rover, and propulsion. The lander will be able to gently land at a chosen location on the moon and release the rover, which will do an in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface as it moves. India will join the United States, Russia, and China as the fourth nation to accomplish this fantastic achievement if the landing is successful. The mission is being led by Dr. Ritu Karidhal Srivastava, one of the organization’s top scientists. Here is the video of the Chandrayaan-3 launch.
