The Indian government has greenlit the Chandrayaan-5 moon mission, which will involve a 250-kilogram rover designed to study the moon's surface, as announced by ISRO Chairman V Narayanan. The mission will be a collaboration with Japan. Prior to this, India's moon exploration has included Chandrayaan-1, launched in 2008, and Chandrayaan-2 in 2019. The successful Chandrayaan-3 mission saw a soft landing at the lunar South Pole. Future space ambitions include the Chandrayaan-4 and Gaganyaan missions, aimed at sample return and manned spaceflight, respectively.
"Just three days back, we got the approval for Chandrayaan-5 Mission. We will be doing it in association with Japan... This advanced rover aims to conduct detailed studies of the Moon's surface and composition."
"India's first Moon mission, Chandrayaan-1, was successfully launched in 2008. It collected chemical, mineralogical and photo-geologic data from the moon."
