What is Chandrayaan-3?

Chandrayaan-3 is like a robot explorer that went on a trip to the Moon.

Imagine you have a toy car that can drive and take pictures, that’s kind of what Chandrayaan-3 is, but way bigger and smarter. It's made up of two main parts: one that lands on the Moon, called the lander, and another that rolls around on the surface, called the rover.

The lander is like a parent helping a child get out of the car, it makes sure everything lands safely. Once it's safe, the rover comes out and starts exploring, just like you might go outside to play after arriving at the park.

The rover has special tools that can dig into the soil and take pictures of the Moon’s surface, kind of like how you use a magnifying glass to look closely at something cool. Scientists on Earth watch what it finds, helping them learn more about our neighbour, the Moon.

It's like sending your best friend on a fun mission to discover new things in a faraway place!
