properties of the lunar surface, lunar seismic activity, lunar environment and elemental composition in the vicinity of the landing site
The mission objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are:To demonstrate Safe and Soft Landing on Lunar SurfaceTo demonstrate Rover roving on the moon
andTo conduct in-situ scientific experimentsWhile the scope of the scientific instruments on the lander and the rover would fit in the theme
of 'Science of the Moon', another experimental instrument will study the spectro-polarimetric signatures of the Earth from the lunar orbit,
which would fit in the theme of 'Science from the Moon', said Isro officials.In March this year, the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully
completed the essential tests that validated its capability to withstand the harsh vibration and acoustic environment that the spacecraft
would encounter during its launch
The Chandrayaan-3 module was recently integrated with the Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM3) and the agency on Friday tweeted that all the
electrical tests of LVM3-M4/Chandrayaan-3 had been completed.(With inputs from agencies)WatchChandrayaan-3 to launch on July 14; ISRO
