ISRO completes preliminary design for Chandrayaan-4 lunar sample‑return mission
The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully finished the preliminary design phase of Chandrayaan-4, its next mission to retrieve soil samples from the Moon’s south pole.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced that it has successfully completed the preliminary design process for Chandrayaan-4, an ambitious mission aimed at bringing back lunar soil samples from the Moon’s south pole.
Chandrayaan-4 is planned to land near the lunar south pole, collect regolith and return the material to Earth for scientific analysis, marking a significant step in India’s lunar exploration programme.
The completion of the design phase represents a key milestone, paving the way for subsequent development stages and testing as ISRO moves forward with the mission timeline.
