Its propulsion modules can carry the lander and rover configuration to a 100 km lunar orbit, while its module had  Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit. It contains Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) which measures the thermal conductivity and temperature of outer orbit while it had an Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) for measuring the seismicity around the landing site; Langmuir Probe (LP) to estimate the plasma density and its variations
