Vikram’s legs of Chandrayaan-3 have been made very strong. He will be able to land at a higher velocity than before. Apart from this, many improvements have also been made in the lander. ISRO Chief Somnath has told that the landing velocity has been increased from 2 m/s to 3 m/s. This means that even at a speed of 3 m/s, the lander will not crash or break its lags. Apart from this, work has also been done on its engine and software. The central or fifth engine has been removed, which was added at the last moment during Chandrayaan 2.
