Get a laymen understanding in this 🧵👇

1) Chandrayaan-3 is a planned moon exploration mission by ISRO.
Its objective is to soft-land on the Moon, showcasing India's capabilities.
Let's break down some basic terminologies to understand its goals better.👇
2) Lunar surface refers to the topmost layer of the Moon, similar to soil, rocks, and dust covering Earth's surface.
It's the solid ground that Chandrayaan-3 aims to explore and study.
3) A lander is a spacecraft designed to land on another celestial body.
In this case, Chandrayaan-3's lander will attempt a soft landing on the Moon.
Soft landing means gently touchdown without damage, despite the Moon lacking an atmosphere to slow down the spacecraft.
4) Achieving a soft landing on the Moon is challenging due to its uneven and rocky surface.
It requires meticulous planning, precise calculations, and advanced technology to ensure a safe and controlled landing for Chandrayaan-3.
5) Roving refers to the movement of a vehicle on the Moon's surface.
Chandrayaan-3 will carry a rover, a robotic vehicle that will explore, conduct experiments, collect samples, and capture images.
Rovers navigate using wheels or tracks to overcome rough terrains.
6) A propulsion system is like an engine that helps a spacecraft or a vehicle move in space.
Just like a car needs an engine to move on the road, a spacecraft needs a propulsion system to move in space.
7) ISRO has set 3 main objectives for Chandrayaan-3:
1️⃣Achieving a safe & soft landing on the Moon.
2️⃣Demonstrating the rover's capabilities by exploring the moon surface.
3️⃣Conducting scientific experiments to understand the Moon's composition, including elements/soil/water.
8) Today afternoon, ISRO will launch Chandrayaan-3 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
This mission represents India's determination to explore and expand our understanding of the Moon.
Fingers crossed🤞
