On the other hand, the rover will carry: Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) for deriving the elemental composition in the vicinity of the landing site, ISRO said. The lander payloads are: Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) to measure the thermal conductivity and temperature Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) for measuring the seismicity around the landing site Langmuir Probe (LP) to estimate the plasma density and its variations.Ī passive Laser Retroreflector Array from NASA is accommodated for lunar laser ranging studies.
Chandrayaan 3 Launched: ISRO Launches Spacecraft Onboard Rocket LVM3 From Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota as India's Third Moon Mission Begins (Watch Video).īe that as it may, ISRO said the propulsion module has Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.
But this time around, ISRO has not officially named the lander and the rover. During the Chandrayaan-2 mission ISRO had named the lander as Vikram in memory of country's space pioneer Vikram Sarabhai and rover Pragyan means wisdom in Sanskrit. Incidentally, the Chandrayaan-2 payload also weighed about 3.8 ton with the orbiter weighing 2,379 kg, the Vikram lander 1,444 kg, including the Pragyan rover 27 kg. The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft comprises a propulsion module (weighing 2,148 kg), a lander (1,723.89 kg) and a rover (26 kg), the ISRO said.

The Indian space agency will raise the spacecraft by a series of manoeuvres to put it on Lunar Transfer Trajectory. From there it will be a long journey for Chandrayaan-3 as the distance between the earth and the moon is about 3.844 lakh km. Just over 16 minutes into its flight, the rocket will sling the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft into lunar polar orbit. #WATCH | Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launches #Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.Ĭhandrayaan-3 is equipped with a lander, a rover and a propulsion module.
