Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, July 9 (Xinhua)-- the Indian Space Agency (ISRO) plans to launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission at 17:05 Beijing time on July 14, four years after the agency's last failed mission to the moon.

ISRO said the mission will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center aboard the Indian carrier rocket Mark-3 (LVM3).

Chandrayaan-3 is India's third lunar mission and the country's second attempt to land on the lunar surface.

Its predecessor, Chandrayaan-2, tried to land on a dusty surface in September 2019 and lost its signal at a distance from the lunar 2.1km.

Nearly four years later, ISRO is preparing to try to land on the moon again, hoping to become the fourth country to land on the moon after the Soviet Union, the United States and China.

CTOnews.com Note: the Chandrayaan-3 mission includes a propulsion module, a lander and a rover. Its main goal is to demonstrate the ability to land on the moon and roam the lunar surface to help develop new technologies for interplanetary missions.

The propulsion module will take the lander and rover to lunar orbit, and the lander and rover will try to land on the moon, carrying six scientific instruments to collect data from the lunar surface. According to ISRO, the rover is equipped with a laser-induced breakdown spectrometer and an alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer to study the chemical composition of the lunar surface.

The propulsion module is a box structure with a large solar panel on one side and a large cylinder on top, which will remain in orbit and act as a communications relay satellite. The lander is equipped with ramps for deployment and will bring the rover to the surface of the moon.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission lasts only half a day of "lunar days", equivalent to about 14 earth days.
