Chandrayaan-3 is scheduled to be launched from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on July 14 at 2:35 PM. Successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 will make India the 4th country to land its Spacecraft on surface of the Moon. Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission of Chandrayaan-2 and is aimed at demonstrating India`s capability in soft landing. After successful landing of Chandrayaan-3, the rover, which has 6 wheels will come out and is expected to work for 14 days on Moon. A successor to Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3 has undergone a few changes to increase robustness of the Lander. The modifications have been subject to exhaustive ground tests and simulations through test beds.
