4. About ISRO
• The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the national space agency of India.
• It operates as the primary research and development arm of the Department of Space (DoS), which is directly
overseen by the Prime Minister of India, while the Chairman of ISRO also acts as the executive of DoS.
• ISRO is primarily responsible for performing tasks related to space-based operations, space exploration,
international space cooperation and the development of related technologies.
• ISRO is one of the six government space agencies in the world that possesses full launch capabilities, can
deploy cryogenic engines, can launch extraterrestrial missions and operate a large fleet of artificial satellites.
• ISRO is one of the four government space agencies to have soft landing (uncrewed) capabilities.

6. Chandrayaan Mission
• Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing
and roving on the lunar surface. It consists of Lander and Rover configuration.
• It will be launched by LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The propulsion module will carry the lander and
rover configuration till 100 km lunar orbit. The propulsion module has Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet
Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.
• Lander payloads: Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) to measure the thermal conductivity
and temperature; Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) for measuring the seismicity around the landing
site; Langmuir Probe (LP) to estimate the plasma density and its variations. A passive Laser Retroreflector
Array from NASA is accommodated for lunar laser ranging studies.
• Rover payloads: Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS)
for deriving the elemental composition in the vicinity of landing site.

Propulsion Module
• Chandrayaan-3 consists of an indigenous propulsion module, lander
module, and a rover with an objective of developing and
demonstrating new technologies required for inter-planetary
missions.
• The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover from
injection orbit to till 100 km lunar orbit. It also carries a Spectro-
polarimetry of Habitable Planetary Earth (SHAPE) payload to study
the spectral and polarimetric measurements of earth from the
lunar orbit.
• The main function of Propulsion Module is to carry the LM from
launch vehicle injection orbit to till Lander separation.

Lander Module
• The Vikram lander is responsible for the softlanding on moon. It
consist of four landing leg and for thrusters capale of producing
800 Newtons of thrust each. It carries rover Pragyan and various
other scientific instruments to perform on-site analysis.
• ISRO improved the structural rigidity, increased polling in
instruments, increased data frequency and transmission, and
added additional multiple contingency systems to improve
lander survivability in the event of failure during descent and
landing.
