The stated objectives of Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar mission, are safe and soft landing, rover roving on the moon's surface, and in-situ scientific experiments.

The approved cost of Chandrayaan-3 is ₹250 crore (excluding launch vehicle cost). India will be the fourth country in the world to achieve this feat after the United States, Russia, and China.
