Factors such as slopes, sun exposure, and communication were considered in selecting the landing site. A new hazard detection system will help ensure a soft touchdown, while a laser sensor will measure the craft s velocity. Lessons from the previous Chandrayaan-2 mission have been incorporated to overcome challenges. The mission s instruments will capture data on location, speed, altitude, and environment. Chandrayaan-3 represents a significant milestone for India s space exploration efforts.
ISRO has taken comprehensive precautions for Chandrayaan-3, learning from the unsuccessful attempt of Chandrayaan-2. The legs of the Vikram lander have been strengthened, lander testing has been intensified, and corrective measures have been implemented. Despite the potential delay, the successful landing of the Vikram lander remains the primary concern for ISRO.
India s Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to land on the moon s south pole, with analysts expecting a boost for India s space industry if successful. The mission comes after Russia s Luna-25 crashed from orbit, potentially impacting funding for a successor mission
