In mythology, where the moon is considered the deity, the lord of beauty and the arts. At the same time, in poetry and poems, the moon was embellished as a metaphor for loving hearts. The vision of modern science has seen the moon as a satellite. For a long time, the Moon has been a center of curiosity for humans. Different civilizations of the world made many fantasies, myths, and stories about the moon and the sun a part of their life and tradition.

The moon and the sun are such visible satellites and stars in the sky that the curiosity to reach and know about them has arisen easily within the human mind while looking at them daily with open eyes. The sun has remained rare because of its distance and its hot nature, but the moon, which is closest to the earth and is called the satellite of our planet, has left all the possibilities open for mankind to dream of settling on the moon and building colonies there.

It is worth mentioning that due to the space race that started between the US and the Soviet Union in the 60s and 70s, the US landed two of its astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on the lunar surface in the year 1969 under the Apollo mission. After this many Apollo missions were sent to the moon.

However, since Gene Cernan in 1972, no other astronaut has yet set foot on the lunar surface. At the same time, America and the rest of the world are gearing up to explore the moon again. Apart from America, Russia, and European countries, India is no less curious and curious about the moon in the field of space. Indian scientists have been continuously cherishing dreams of going to the moon and hoisting the Indian tricolor there. After the partial success of Chandrayaan 2, India and Indian scientists are once again moving towards the Moon through their mission Chandrayaan 3.

Chandrayaan 3 will be launched with an LVM3 rocket
ISRO is going to launch Chandrayaan 3 on July 14, 2023, at 2.35 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Center located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. Under the Chandrayaan 3 mission, its robotic equipment can land on that part of the moon (Shackleton Crater) by August 24, where no mission of any country has reached so far. For this reason, the eyes of the whole world are on this mission of India. Compared to earlier, this time the lander of Chandrayaan 3 will land on a 40 times larger area with stronger wheels. Chandrayaan 3 will be launched with an LVM3 rocket. To successfully land the lander on the lunar surface, many types of safety equipment have been installed in it. The theme of the Chandrayaan 3 mission is Science Of The Moon.

Shackleton crater
The Moon's south pole is a large 4.2 km Shackleton Crater. Sunlight has not reached this particular place for billions of years. Because of this, the temperature here remains at -267 degrees Fahrenheit. According to experts, the amount of hydrogen at this place is very high. For this reason, there can be the presence of water here. It is estimated by many scientists that 100 million tons of crystallized water can be found near Shackleton Crater.

Shackleton Crater is a storehouse of many essential resources
Apart from this, essential resources like ammonia, methane, sodium, mercury, and silver can be found here. These places will be explored through the rover under Chandrayaan 3 mission. With the help of the rover, the soil of the lunar surface, its temperature and the gases present in the atmosphere will be detected. Apart from this, how are the structure and geology of the south pole of the Moon? These facts will also be known.

How important is Chandrayaan 3 for NASA's Artemis 3 mission?
Chandrayaan 3 is going to be very important for NASA's Artemis-3 mission. Under the Artemis 3 mission, NASA is planning to land humans on the south pole of the moon. In such a situation, the data about the south pole of the moon will be obtained from the discovery of Chandrayaan 3. From this, NASA's Artemis mission will get many important information about this special region of the moon.
America is going to start this mission in space, the world will change

Will strengthen India's threat in the global space race
The Chandrayaan 3 mission will symbolize human curiosity and paint a picture of a changing India. Not only this, Chandrayaan 3 will strengthen India's threat in the global space race.
