Chandrayan-3: India's Huge Leap to Space

Since yore, the human race has made dynamic developments in the world, and owing to their attempts we have seen many breakthroughs and evolutions now, be it any area. ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) is no different diligently involved in science engineering, technology, and industry, symbolizing our nation's progress in space exploration. Launching several successful missions, including the Mars Orbiter Mission and the Chandrayaan missions on the lunar surface, exhibiting India's capabilities in space technology ISRO has long exemplified and established its dexterity worldwide.

Today, it is a proud moment to the same mission extensions. India’s revering mission to make a mark in the space has finally got accomplished through the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on August 2023. Chandrayaan-3, the third and most recent Indian lunar exploration mission launched under the Chandrayaan programme of ISRO, after the sad partial success of 2019's Chandrayaan-2 Mission aims to showcase significant technological prowess in the times to come. The lander module of Chandrayaan-3, made up of reckoning combination of Vikram lander and Rover Pragyan has made it all true today- the dream our scientific/space leaders are resting on and they can hopefully look forward to receiving valuable data on the properties of lunar soil and rocks, including chemical and elemental compositions.

While the whole nation is buzzing with energy and excitement with this news, we can look forward to many developments and discoveries with the Chandrayaan-3 mission as there will be remarkable scientific inquiry and innovation. As per the ISRO's website, “the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft will measure the near-surface plasma (ions and electrons) density and its changes with time; carry out the measurements of thermal properties of the lunar surface near-polar region; ensure seismicity around the landing site and delineating the structure of the lunar crust and mantle; derive the chemical Composition and infer mineralogical composition to further our understanding of Lunar-surface, and will determine the elemental composition of Lunar soil and rocks around the lunar landing site".

Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, government of India is all out to display India’s acknowledgeable capabilities in security and innovations through science & technology. No country has ever attempted or been successful in a soft landing on the moon’s minutely-explored south pole, ever before. Chandrayaan-3 successful soft landing on Moon's south polar region is just the beginning to our great crusade ahead.
