The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a lunar exploration mission by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The mission’s main objective is to land a rover on the moon’s south pole. The south pole of the moon is special for a number of reasons.
First, it is the coldest place on the moon, with temperatures reaching as low as -260 degrees Celsius. This makes it a good place to study the moon’s geology and to search for water ice.
Second, the south pole of the moon is permanently shadowed by craters. This means that these craters are never exposed to sunlight, which makes them ideal places to study the moon’s ancient history.
Third, the south pole of the moon is thought to be rich in water ice. Water ice is a valuable resource for future human exploration of the moon. It can be used to drink, to grow food, and to produce rocket fuel.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission will help us to better understand the south pole of the moon and its resources. This knowledge will be essential for future human exploration of the moon.
Here are some of the specific scientific objectives of Chandrayaan-3:
- To search for water ice in the permanently shadowed craters of the south pole.
- To study the geology of the south pole and to map its composition.
- To search for evidence of ancient life on the moon.
- To test new technologies for lunar exploration, such as a rover and a drill.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a significant step forward in India’s lunar exploration program. It will help us to learn more about the moon and its resources, and it will pave the way for future human exploration of the moon.
