The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a major milestone for India's space program, and it is being closely watched by scientists and space enthusiasts around the world.
Chandrayaan-3 is a lunar exploration mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
Contact with Chandrayaan-1 was lost due to a technical malfunction, while Chadrayaan-2's lander crashed during the landing attempt.
The mission will attempt to soft-land a lander and rover on the lunar surface and is expected to last one year.
The spacecraft will carry a lander and rover, which will attempt to soft-land on the lunar surface.
The lander is named Vikram, after the father of India's space program, Vikram Sarabhai, and the rover is named Pragyan, which means "wisdom" in Sanskrit.
The lander and rover were made using a variety of materials, including aluminium, steel, and composite materials.
This demonstration of India's technological capabilities could help to attract investment in the Indian space sector.
The launch is scheduled to take place at 2:35 PM IST today (July 14, 2023) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
