Chandrayaan-3 is the third mission in the Chandrayaan programme, a series of lunar-exploration missions developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) . It is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 and aims to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. The spacecraft was launched on July 14, 2023, and successfully inserted into the lunar orbit on August 5, 2023. The mission consists of a lander and rover configuration, and the lander successfully landed on the lunar surface on August 23, 2023, at the Shiv Shakti point between Manzinus C and Simpelius N craters. The primary goals of the mission were to analyze the composition of the moons soil and super-thin atmosphere, and the lander carried out technology demonstrations and data collection for nearly two weeks. The mission has provided insights into the density and temperature of the Moons ionosphere and the mineral composition of the lunar surface.
