    Consider the following statements regarding Chandrayaan 3

    1. The mission made India the first country to soft land on the south pole of the moon.

    2. The mission life of Chandrayaan 3 is at least 14 lunar days.

    3. The main objective of Pragyan, the rover, is to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.

    4. Unlike Chandrayaan 2, the Chandrayaan 3 was developed with a "failure-based" design approach.

    How many of the above statements are correct?

    Only One

    Incorrect Answer

    Only Two

    Correct Answer

    Only Three

    Incorrect Answer

    All Four

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Only statements 1&4 are correct.

    • Chandrayaan-3 has made history by becoming the first mission to soft-land on the lunar south pole, a region that has never been explored before.

    • India now joins the United States, Russia, and China as one of the few countries to successfully land on the Moon.

    • Chandrayaan-3's successful landing came after the setback of the Chandrayaan-2 mission's landing failure in 2019.

    • Lessons from the Chandrayaan-2 mission were applied to Chandrayaan-3, focusing on a "failure-based" design approach to anticipate and mitigate potential issues. 

    • Critical changes included strengthening the lander's legs, increasing fuel reserves, and enhancing landing site flexibility.

    • Chandrayaan-3 is expected to operate for at least one lunar day (14 Earth days) on the lunar surface. 

    • The Pragyan rover will move around the landing site within a radius of 500 meters, conducting experiments and sending data and images to the lander.

    • The Vikram lander will relay the data and images to the orbiter, which will then transmit them to Earth.

    • The propulsion module that carried the lander and rover configuration till 100 km lunar orbit also has a Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit. 

    Hence option 2nd is correct.
