After the Union Cabinet’s approval for India’s fourth lunar mission, Chandrayaan 4, the scientific community expressed hope that the country will soon see its lander on the Moon collecting rocks and lunar soil and bringing it back to the orbiter.
“We are not far away from sending astronauts to the moon. The success of this mission will pave the way for human space exploration in future,” said a scientist optimistic about the efforts of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
“We should be able to land a lander there, collect rocks and moon soil and bring it back in an orbiter, and with this orbiter we should come back and land safely and take revenge,” Tapan Mishra, former director of the Ahmedabad-based Space Applications Centre, said in the report. Year,
He said this space mission is “the first step towards sending Indian astronauts to the Moon.” Expressing confidence in ISRO’s upcoming mission, he said, “We will not be too far away from sending astronauts to the Moon.”
Highlighting the three upcoming programmes approved by the Indian government, including Chandrayaan 4, Tapan Mishra said, “We are happy that Chandrayaan 3 landed there… we demonstrated two important technologies, we can send something to the moon and bring it back, and we can fire a rocket after landing and waiting for 14 days, that is a big achievement.” Year,
Astronomer and professor RC Kapoor informed that the Chandrayaan 4 mission will be accomplished using 2 rockets, which is a lunar sample return mission. Elaborating on the mission, Kapoor said Mission Moon will be launched in 2027. “The first rocket will be like GSLV MkIII, which will carry the ascender module and descender module, the second rocket will go later,” ANI quoted RC Kapoor as saying.
Explaining the mission, Kapoor said the descent module will collect lunar samples using a robotic arm, which will later be transferred to the ascent module.
The remarks came after the Union Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the new lunar mission on September 18. ISRO Chairman S Somnath on Wednesday announced plans to launch the first module of the Indian Space Station (BAS-1) by 2028. During his address in the national capital, he said the main goal of the Chandrayaan 4 mission is to demonstrate the technology of going to the moon and then returning.
