Chandrayaan 3 Design Components

The Chandrayaan 3 design comprises three main components.

 Propulsion module
 Lander
 Rover

Chandrayaan 3 Propulsion Module:

 The lander and rover configuration will be propelled by the propulsion module up to a 100 kilometre lunar
orbit.
 Chandrayaan 3 Propulsion Module is a box-like structure with one sizable solar panel positioned on one side
and a sizable cylinder serving as the lander's mounting structure on top (the Intermodular Adapter Cone).
 The Chandrayaan 3 Propulsion Module also has a payload dubbed Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet
Earth (SHAPE) that measures Earth's spectral and polarimetric properties from an orbit around the moon.

Chandrayaan 3 Lander:

 The Chandrayaan 3 lander is responsible for the soft landing on the Moon.
 Chandrayaan 3 lander has four landing legs and four 800 Newton landing thrusters, and it is also box-shaped.
 It will transport the rover and other scientific tools for on-site investigation.
 Unlike Vikram on Chandrayaan-2, which had five 800 Newtons engines with a fifth one being centrally
installed with a fixed thrust, the Chandrayaan 3 lander will only have four throttle-able engines.
 The Chandrayaan 3 lander will also be fitted with an LDV or Laser Doppler Velocimeter. In comparison to
Chandrayaan-2, the impact legs have been strengthened, and instrument redundancy has been increased.

Chandrayaan 3 Rover:

The overview of Chandrayaan 3 rover is given below:

 Six-wheeled design.
 Weight - 26 kilograms (57 pounds).
 Range of 500 meters (1,640 feet).
 Scientific instruments including cameras, spectrometers, and a drill.
 Expected lifespan of rover - one lunar day (14 Earth days).
 Communication with the lander and ground control team in India.
