Chandrayaan-3: Significance of naming lander and rover as Vikram and Pragyan

After the success of Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2, this mission aims to further explore the lunar surface, trying to unlock its secrets. With advanced technology and lessons learned from previous missions, Chandrayaan-3 aims to further our understanding of lunar geology, topography and mineral resources.



Chandrayaan-3's lander and rover have been named Vikram and Pragyan to honor India's space pioneers. Visionary scientist Vikram Sarabhai was instrumental in establishing ISRO and spearheading India's space programme.

Naming the lander after him pays tribute to his remarkable contributions. On the other hand, Prajnan, which means "wisdom" in Sanskrit, symbolizes the pursuit of knowledge and discovery. By naming the rover Pragyan, the mission aims to highlight the spirit of curiosity and quest for scientific understanding.

These names serve as a reminder of India's space ambitions and legacy of its space heroes, inspiring future generations to continue their stellar pursuit of knowledge and exploration.

In collaboration with international partners, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) envisions Chandrayaan-3 as a stepping stone for future manned lunar missions. This ambitious venture reflects India's commitment to space exploration, inspiring scientists and space enthusiasts worldwide. As expected, Chandrayaan-3 promises to leave an indelible mark in the history of lunar exploration.
