Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. ''Today, at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, the encapsulated assembly containing Chandrayaan-3 is mated with LVM3'', the Bengaluru-headquartered national space agency tweeted. ISRO has said the Chandrayaan-3 mission is slated to be launched between July 13 and July 19. ''We are aiming to launch it on July 13'', an ISRO official said. The Chandrayaan-3 mission carries scientific instruments to study the thermophysical properties of the lunar regolith, lunar seismicity, lunar surface plasma environment and elemental composition in the vicinity of the landing site.
