CONGRATS INDIA ! ISRO Chandraayan - 3

---

 Chandrayaan-3 is the third and most recent Indian lunar exploration mission under the Chandrayaan programme of ISRO. It consists of a lander named Vikram and a rover named Pragyan similar to those of the Chandrayaan-2. Its propulsion module acts like an orbiter. 

 Earlier on 9 August, ISRO chairman S Somanath had said the lander of India’s third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3, Vikram, will be able to make a soft-landing on the Moon's surface even if all the sensors and two of its engines do not work. The entire design of the lander has been made in a manner that makes sure that it would be able to handle failures, Somanath had said as quoted by PTI. “If everything fails, if all the sensors fail, nothing works, still it (Vikram) will make a landing. That’s how it has been designed, provided that the propulsion system works well," Somanath said. He also added, “We have also made sure that if two of the engines (in Vikram) don’t work this time also, it will still be able to land."
