Within the next 24 hours, India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to perform a spectacular lunar landing. The project, created by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), seeks to improve our knowledge of the Moon’s surface and its geological features. You can tune in to ISRO’s official website or their social media accounts on YouTube and Twitter to see the live broadcast of this historic event.
Modern equipment on Chandrayaan-3 are designed to investigate the mineralogy, topography, and composition of the Moon. It continues the legacy of its forerunners, Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2, which have made major contributions to our understanding of lunar science. The landing module will be equipped with tools for on-site surface investigation, giving light on the Moon’s evolution and past.
