According to officials, Chandrayaan-3 will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh through launch vehicle Mark-3. The propellant module will propel the ‘lander’ and ‘rover’ into the lunar orbit up to 100 km. In this, a ‘spectro-polarimetry’ payload has also been added to study the polar measurements of the Earth from the Moon’s orbit.
