Chandrayaan-3
The Chandrayaan-3 took off today, marking the continuation of the world's first mission to make a soft landing near the south -pole of moon . As we know that the Chandrayaan-2 mission in 2019 aimed to do the same , but for some landing issues it failed to execute a soft landing on the moon .
ISRO officials says that Indian's Chandrayaan-3 will reach the lunar orbit about a month after its launch. it is predicted that near 23- 24 august will land on the lunar surface of moon. Its lander Vikram and Rover Pragyaan will attempt to land on the moon.

Why land to the moon's south pole ? what is the reason behind this ?
The landing site for the Chandrayaan-3 is near same as Chandrayaan-2 south pole landing .
As we know that most of the moon mission usually land to the Moon's equator .do you know why this happens. let me tell you ,as landing on Moon's equator it's easier to land spacecrafts and also Temperature and landscape in that region makes operation of technology easier .where polar regions are risky or tricky because many parts are in complete darkness at all time and there is never sunlight reach at that space and without sunlight we can't get the signal connection from rover so that here is very high risk of connection loss and also this side Temperature will go to -230 degree Celsius which is harmful for spacecraft.

This condition make mission more difficult for scientist, along with the presence of large craters that are as huge as thousand's of kilometer.
ISRO scientist want to explore the polar region of the moon because ice molecules could be present in the deep craters in this region. This was also indicated by the chandrayaan-1. By this mission we can clarify that how earth was created and when created.
also , since freezing Temperature keep everything trapped, the condition on this region of the moon could hold clues about the early solar system and the history of our Earth.
where and when chandrayaan-3 will launch ?
