ISRO confirms launch of Chandrayaan-3 in July
1/6
Chandrayaan-3 to demonstrate critical technologies
The Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to demonstrate critical technologies to land the spacecraft on the south pole of the moon in less than two months. Chandrayaan-3 will launch in July this year, ISRO chief S Somanath confirmed .
2/6
Scientific instruments to study lunar surface
The mission carries scientific instruments to study the thermo-physical properties of the lunar regolith, lunar seismicity, lunar surface plasma environment and elemental composition in the vicinity of the landing site. An experimental instrument would study the spectro-polarimetric signatures of the Earth from the lunar orbit.

Important points
The propulsion module would carry the lander and rover configuration till 100 km lunar orbit. The rover payloads include 'Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer' and 'Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy' for deriving the elemental composition in the vicinity of the landing site. The lander would have the capability to soft land at a specified lunar site and deploy the rover which would carry out in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course of its mobility.
