The mission objective of Chandrayaan-3 was to design, realise and deploy a lunar Lander-Rover capable of soft landing on a specified lunar site and deploy a rover to carry out in-situ analysis of chemicals. Number of tests were planned namely Integrated Cold Test(ICT), Integrated Hot Test(IHT) and Hardware simulator to evaluate the sensors and actuators of lander module. This paper briefly explains the assembly, integration and testing of the module for different special tests proposed to validate the overall performance of the system which was crucial for the safe and successful landing on lunar surface.
