> Chandrayaan-3 (transl.Moon-craft, pronunciation (help·info))[8] is the third and most recent Indian lunar exploration mission under the Chandrayaan programme of ISRO.[8] It consists of a lander named Vikram and a rover named Pragyan similar to Chandrayaan-2. Its propulsion module would act like an orbiter. The propulsion module carries the lander and rover configuration until the spacecraft is in a 100-kilometre (62 mi) lunar orbit.

> The launch of Chandrayaan-3 took place on 14 July 2023, at 2:35 pm IST.[12] The lander and rover are expected to land near the lunar south pole region on 23 August 2023. The powered descent is scheduled for 23 August 2023, around 05:45 pm IST and touchdown is expected on the same day around 06:05 pm IST.[13][14]
