The LVM3 rocket’s fourth mission is Chandrayaan-3. The rockets will carry the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft weighing 3,900 kg or 3.9 ton
The Chandrayaan-3 comprises an orbiter or the propulsion module, a lander called Vikram, and a rover called Pragyan
The orbiter, or the propulsion module as the ISRO named it weighs 2,148 kg, and the lander, including the rover, 1,752 kg
The main purpose of Chandrayaan-3 is to safely land the lander on the moon's soil. Following that, the rover will roll out to do the experiments.
Rover will come out after landing, rover has 6 wheels. It will work for 14 days on the moon. It will capture images there
The main function of the propulsion module is to carry the lander module from launch vehicle injection to final lunar 100 km circular polar orbit
Earlier, the spacecraft successfully completed the essential tests that validated its capability to withstand the harsh vibration and accoustic environment
In homage to the celebrated Indian scientist Vikram Sarabhai, the lander for the Chandrayaan-3 mission is named “Vikram.”
