The real work now begins for India's landmark third moon mission Chandrayaan 3. ISRO will operate the rover and use its payloads to study lunar soil, rocks, seismic activity, and plasma density in the uncharted region. Chandrayaan 3 aims to be the first mission to explore the South Pole for ice and minerals. The rover will also conduct quantitative and qualitative analysis of the lunar surface, measure seismic activity, and study lunar dynamics and plasma density. The systems are designed to function for one lunar day which is 14 days on earth.
