The cost of the Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission is said to be Rs 615-crore. The aim of Chandrayaan-3 mission is to accomplish what its predecessor Chandrayaan-2 could not, i.e. land softly on the lunar surface and explore it with a rover. A successful soft landing will make India the fourth country, after US, Russia, and China, to achieve the feat. ISRO’s Chandrayaan-2 mission faced challenges during its soft landing in 2019. India’s upgraded rocket lifted the Chandrayaan-3 satellite toward the moon. Chandrayaan-3 satellite weighs 3,921 kilograms. The upgraded ‘Bahubali’ rocket is massive, standing 43.5 meters tall. It will be on the sixth flight of the rocket which has a one hundred per cent success rate to date. With this, hopes are mounting for the successful lift-off from India’s space port.
