ISRO has set the following mission objectives for the Chandrayaan-3 mission:
Getting a lander to land safely and softly on the surface of the Moon.
Observing and demonstrating the rover’s loitering capabilities on the Moon.
In-site observation and conducting experiments on the materials available on the lunar surface to better understand composition of the Moon.[17]
Thanks, it seems more of a technological proof of concept mission, rather than a purely scientific mission. Hopefully this leads to more space exploration capabilities in the international community.
