Verma. "An insight into India's Moon mission–Chandrayan-3: The first nation to land on the southernmost polar region of the Moon." Planetary and Space Science (2024): 105864, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pss.2024.105864 Chandrayaan-3 Vikram Lander Lander The Vikram lander is box-shaped (200 x 200 x 116.6 cm), with four landing legs and four landing thrusters. It has a mass of 1749.86 kg, including 26 kg for the rover, and can generate 738 W using side-mounted solar panels. The lander has a number of sensors to ensure a safe touchdown, including an accelerometer, altimeters (Ka-band and laser), Doppler velocimeter, star sensors, inclinometer, touchdown sensor, and a suite of cameras for hazard avoidance and positional knowledge. Reaction wheels are used for attitude control, and propulsion is provided by a MMH and MON3 bipropellant system with four 800 N throttleable engines and eight 58 N throttleable engines. An X-band antenna is used for communications. From: https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2023-098A
