Chandrayaan-4 : ISRO to bring back soil samples from the moon
Chandrayaan-3 was a grand success. Now, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is focusing on their next project, Chandrayaan-4.
This mission aims to bring back soil samples from the Moon. This will mark India as a frontrunner in space exploration.
The Chandrayaan-4 mission, as outlined by Nilesh Desai, Director of the Space Applications Centre (SAC/ISRO), during the 62nd foundation day celebration of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune, will involve a sample return from the lunar surface.
“In this mission, the landing will be similar like Chandrayan-3 but the central module will come back after docking with the orbiting module which will later separate near to Earth atmosphere and re-entry module will come back with the sample of the soil and rock of the Moon. It’s a very ambitious mission hopefully in next five to seven years we will meet this challenge of bringing sample from the surface of the moon,” ANI quoted Desai as saying.
