end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.
ISRO has said the lunar mission is slated to be launched on July 14 at 2:35 pm
IST from SDSC, Sriharikota.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission carries scientific instruments to study the
thermophysical properties of the Lunar Regolith, lunar seismicity, lunar
surface plasma environment and elemental composition in the vicinity of the
landing site.
