what is chandrayaan3 explained

Chandrayaan-3 is the third lunar exploration mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) . It is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2, which consisted of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. Chandrayaan-3 will consist of a lander and a rover similar to Chandrayaan-2, but it will not have an orbiter. Its propulsion module will behave like a communications relay satellite and will carry the lander and rover configuration until the spacecraft is in a 100km lunar orbit. The missions three objectives are to demonstrate a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface, to demonstrate a rover's mobility on the lunar surface, and to study the lunar surface's composition. The lander for Chandrayaan-3 will have only four throttle-able engines, unlike Vikram on Chandrayaan-2, which had five 800 Newtons engines with a fifth one being centrally mounted with a fixed. The Chandrayaan-3 lander stands about 2 meters tall and has a mass of just over 1,700 kg (3,747.86 lb), roughly on par with an SUV.
