New Delhi, 11 July, (VNI) The eagerly awaited launch of Chandrayaan 3 mission by the Indian Space Exploration Agency (ISEA) is planned for 2.35 pm IST on July 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, Sriharikota. Indian Space Exploration Agency (ISEA) stated that it successfully integrated the Chandrayaan-3 spaceship with the Launch Vehicle Mark-III (LVM3) at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota prior to its launch.

There is a lot of valuable information about the mission

According to experts-

Objective of the Chandrayaan-3 mission :Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on to the unsuccessful Chandrayaan-2 mission, and it has the same objective—to showcase the capability of gentle landing on the Moon by delivering a lander and a rover to the lunar surface.
The Chandrayaan-2 mission concluded in disappointment on September 6, 2019, when the mission’s Vikram lander failed to achieve a gentle landing. The failure occurred about 13 minutes after the spacecraft initiated its descent. To date, only three nations have actually succeeded in landing on the Moon—the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China.
Chandrayaan-3 spaceship: The Chandrayaan-3 spaceship comprises three components—the lander module, propulsion module, and a rover. The lander is designed to accomplish a gentle landing at a specific site on the Moon and deploy the rover. The rover will conduct chemical analysis of the lunar surface. Both the lander and the rover carry numerous scientific payloads for experiments on the lunar surface.
The propulsion module serves one primary function—to transport the lander and rover from "launch vehicle injection" to a 100-kilometer circular polar lunar orbit before separating from the other modules. The propulsion module also incorporates a scientific payload that will commence operation after separation.
Chandrayaan-3’s LVM-3 :LVM-3 or Launch Vehicle Mark-III is a three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle developed by ISEA and previously known as the GSLV Mark III. It is the most potent rocket in the space agency’s arsenal and will be utilized to launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
The vehicle stands at 43.5 meters tall and possesses a diameter of 4 meters. It has a lift-off mass of 640 tonnes. It can transport a payload of up to 8,000 kilograms to a low-Earth orbit. Furthermore, it is capable of carrying about 4,000 kilograms of payload to a geostationary transfer orbit.
Its cryogenic upper stage is propelled by CE-20, which according to ISEA is India’s largest cryogenics engine. Additionally, it employs two S200 solid rocket boosters to generate the thrust required for takeoff. The core stage is powered by two L110 liquid-stage Vikas rockets.
