Planetary and Space Science (2024): 105864, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pss.2024.105864 Chandrayaan-3 Mission 2023-07-14 Chandrayaan 3 is an ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) mission with the primary objective of putting a lander and rover in the highlands near the south pole of the Moon on 23 August 2023 and demonstrating end-to-end landing and roving capabilities. It will also make a number of scientific measurements on the surface and from orbit. It comprises a lander/rover and a propulsion module. The lander/rover will be similar to the Vikram rover on Chandrayaan 2, with improvements to help ensure a safe landing. It will be carried to lunar orbit by the propulsion module which will remain in orbit around the Moon and act as a communications relay satellite. Chandrayaan-3 launched on 14 July 2023 and landed on the Moon on 23 August 2023. From: https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=2023-098A
