Chandrayaan Landing

Chandrayaan-4 mission has received approval from the Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday. This marks another significant milestone in India's lunar exploration efforts. Unlike previous missions, Chandrayaan-4 will not only aim for a successful landing on the Moon but will also focus on returning to Earth.

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a new moon mission "Chandrayaan-4" to develop and demonstrate technologies needed for landing of Indian astronauts on the moon and safely bring them back to Earth.

Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) has released a fresh set of images from the Chandrayaan-3 mission, coinciding with the first anniversary of its successful landing on the Moon. These images, taken by the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover, showcase key moments from the mission, including Pragyan's attempts to imprint India's national embl...

Chandrayaan-3 mission, India’s first successful mission to have landed on the Moon, might have made a notable discovery. As per a new study, it might have found evidence of a former magma ocean near the Moon's South Pole. This finding was achieved through the efforts of the Pragyan rover, which landed on the lunar surface in August 2023. Over the...

In August last year, India became the first country to soft land a spacecraft near the South Pole of the Moon after a nail-biting 20 minutes of "terror".

The Indian Space Research Organisation will continue its Chandrayaan series of lunar probes until an astronaut from the country lands on the Moon, said ISRO Chairman S Somanath on Wednesday.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief S Somnath said that the next instalment of the Chandrayaan programme is under development, which will take forward the country's moon exploration.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the government has drawn up a roadmap for the development of space sector and that day was not far when an Indian will travel to the Moon in an indigenously built spacecraft.

Just over a month after India created history with the Chandrayaan 3 soft landing on the south pole region of the Moon, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has set its eyes on Venus now.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Thursday said the watershed moment of India landing a spacecraft on the Moon was the culmination of the efforts put in by all governments over the past six decades.

Mr Duari said ISRO's three Chandrayaan missions have thrown more light on the presence of water ice, previously undiscovered minerals and elements, and temperature changes on the moon.

Japan on Thursday launched its Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) lunar exploration spacecraft as it looks to become the fifth country to land on the surface of Earth's only natural satellite. The launch comes two weeks after Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency start the landing by Febru...

The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) of the American space agency NASA has captured an image of the Chandrayaan-3 landing site. The spacecraft is currently near the moon’s south pole since its successful soft landing on August 23.

On August 23, India took a giant leap as the Chandrayaan-3 lander module successfully landed on the moon's South Pole.

Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram will go to sleep mode on the moon, India's space agency ISRO said today, hours after announcing that it had exceeded its mission by "landing on moon, again".
