According to sources the indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is planning its next lunar mission, Chandrayan-3 for a soft land of a Rover on moon by November-2020. Meanwhile according to a report the isro has formed multiple committees comprising an overall panel and three sub-committees and have held at least four high-level meetings since October. Perhaps since the Chandrayaan 2 orbiter is functioning well, the new mission is likely to include only a Lander and a rover.
Furthermore the overview committee met to review the configuration of Chandrayaan 3 and it also looked into the recommendations of sub-committees on propulsion, sensors, overall engineering, navigation and guidance. Further as per the daily, the agency has also looked into certain aspects such as site selection, absolute navigation and local navigation. Among the top priority for the new mission is to strengthen the legs of the lander so that it lands with high velocity without problems.
Moreover no financial decision has been taken on the payloads; the report stated that isro will be building a new lander and a rover. Previously isro chief K Sivan had said, "Let me assure that isro will pull all its experience, knowledge and technical prowess to set things right and demonstrate soft landing in the near future. Hence on the technology part yes, we could not achieve a soft landing, but all the systems functioned until 300 meters from the moon's surface.
