Chandrayaan 3 launch: ISRO's 3rd Moon mission may add India in elite 3-nation club

Ever since Indian space agency ISRO announced that it is planning to launch its third Moon mission on July 14, there has been considerable excitement.

There are several reasons why Chandrayaan 3 might prove to be a historic undertaking.

If the mission is successful, it will mark India's entry into an elite club which only has 3 countries as members so far.

ISRO's objective is to do a 'soft-landing' of the 'Vikram' lander and 'Pragyan' rover on the Moon.

Only USA, Russia, and China have done soft-landings on the Moon so far.

Additionally, if Chandrayaan 3 succeeds, it will be the first spacecraft ever to land near the Moon's South Pole.
