Why Chandrayaan-3 is called Vikram lander?


Why Chandrayaan-3 is called Vikram lander?

  • Chandrayaan-3 is not specifically called the "Vikram lander." The name "Vikram" refers to the lander that was part of the Chandrayaan-2 mission. Chandrayaan-2 was India's second lunar exploration mission, consisting of an orbiter, a lander named Vikram, and a rover named Pragyan.
  • Vikram was designed to make a soft landing on the Moon's surface and deploy the Pragyan rover. Unfortunately, during the Chandrayaan-2 mission in September 2019, the Vikram lander lost communication with mission control just moments before its intended landing on the lunar surface.
  • Chandrayaan-3, on the other hand, is a proposed follow-up mission to Chandrayaan-2. It's intended to focus solely on the lander and rover components and aims to achieve a successful soft landing on the Moon's surface.
  • The use of the name "Vikram" for the lander in Chandrayaan-2 is a tribute to Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, who is considered the father of the Indian space program.
