The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a major undertaking for the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). If the mission is successful, it will make India the fourth country to successfully land on the Moon. It will also be a major step forward in India’s space program, and it will pave the way for future missions to explore the Moon.
