Chandrayaan 3 will be India’s second attempt to land a rover on the lunar surface. The apparatus consists of a flight module and a descent platform with a lunar rover. The southern circumpolar region of the Moon was chosen as the landing site for the mission. The first attempt to land an Indian spacecraft on the Moon took place in September 2019. This task was assigned to the Vikram descent platform. She successfully separated from the Chandrayaan-2 orbital module and began to descend. But when the platform was at an altitude of only a few kilometers from the lunar surface, there was a failure in the braking engine. As a result, Vikram crashed. After this failure, the Indian Space Research Organization decided to retry the landing. Initially, Chandrayaan-3 was planned to be sent to the Moon back in 2020. But due to the pandemic, the launch eventually shifted by 2 years.
