- The Chandrayaan-3 mission is India's third lunar mission, and its first attempt to land on the moon's south pole.
- The south pole is a region of the moon that has never been explored by humans or robots.
- The mission is expected to help scientists learn more about the moon's geology and history.

- The lander has been tested extensively in a vacuum chamber and on a shaking table.
- The rover has also been tested in a vacuum chamber and on a lunar simulant.
- The ISRO has said that it is confident of a successful landing.
- However, it has also said that there is always a risk of failure in any space mission.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a major milestone for India's space program. If successful, it will make India the fourth country to land a spacecraft on the moon. It will also be a major boost for India's scientific and technological capabilities.
The world is watching with bated breath as India prepares to make history. The success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission would be a major achievement for the country and a testament to its growing prowess in space exploration.
