                        Chandrayaan-4: The next step in ISRO's lunar exploration ISRO and JAXA are planning a joint lunar mission called the Lunar Pole Exploration Mission (LUPEX), also called the Chandrayaan-4 mission after the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission. Chandrayaan-4 Mission In order to release the Lunar Polar Exploration Mission (LUPEX), also called the Chandryaan-4 Mission, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have teamed collectively. In 2026, the Indian Space Agency (ISRO) and Japanese Space Entity (JAXA) aim to launch the Chandryaan-4 Mission after the a hit touchdown of the Chandrayaan-three moon challenge, with this project India attained astounding accomplishment inside the Space Program.   The discovery of water at the moon could drastically affect space exploration inside the destiny and offer a critical resource for maintaining human presence on Earth’s lunar neighbour. The LUPEX is prepared to set n

  Chandrayaan-3’s measurements of sulfur open the doorways for lunar technology and exploration In a thrilling milestone for lunar scientists around the world, India’s Chandrayaan-3 lander touched down 375 miles (six hundred km) from the south pole of the Moon on Aug. 23, 2023. In just beneath 14 Earth days, Chandrayaan-3 provided scientists with precious new information and in addition idea to discover the Moon. And the Indian Space Research Organization has shared those initial consequences with the sector. While the statistics from Chandrayaan-3’s rover, named Pragyan, or “wisdom” in Sanskrit, showed the lunar soil includes expected elements along with iron, titanium, aluminum and calcium, it also showed an surprising surprise – sulfur. Planetary scientists have acknowledged that sulfur exists in lunar rocks and soils, but simplest at a completely low concentration. These new measurements imply there may be a better sulfur attention than anticipated. Pragyan has devices tha

                * The Moon: A Second Home in the Solar System* The Moon will be the first place where humans learn to live on another celestial body. Just three days from Earth, the Moon has low gravity and natural resources that make it an ideal location to prepare people and machines for venturing farther into space. As a repository of four billion years of solar system history and as a place to observe the Earth and the universe, it has great scientific potential. Exploration of the Moon will also reveal whether the resources available in space will allow humans to live off the land. In the 1960s, robotic spacecraft from the United States and the Soviet Union began exploring the Moon. The first soft landing was made in 1966 by the Soviet spacecraft Luna-9. It was followed by several more Soviet and U.S. lunar missions, including orbiters, sample-return missions, and rovers. During this period, six Apollo crews also landed on the Moon and returned samples to Earth. Thanks to these dr
