Encouraged by the success of Chandrayaan-3, India is now ready to take another big leap into space. This time ISRO will write the story of its capability in space through Chandrayaan 4. The Union Cabinet has approved the Chandrayaan 4 mission. The special thing is that Chandrayaan 4 will not only land on the moon but will also return to Earth with samples from the moon.
Highlights of Chandrayaan 4
Chandrayaan 4 mission will be completed in 36 months.
The government has given a fund of Rs 2104.06 crore to ISRO for this mission.
It contains the Chandrayaan-4 spacecraft
Two LVM-3 rockets
A space network will be designed to maintain continuous contact with Chandrayaan 4.
Chandrayaan 4 mission will not be launched in one go
Chandrayaan 4 mission will not be launched in one go. It will be launched in two parts. After reaching space, its two parts will be connected through docking. India is rapidly developing the technology of docking. SPADEX mission can be carried out by the end of the year to demonstrate this technology. After acquiring this technology, India will be among the few countries that have the capability of docking in space.
ISRO is fully prepared for Chandrayaan 4 mission
ISRO has made all the preparations for Chandrayaan 4 mission. Like Chandrayaan 3, this time also the orbiter of the spacecraft will orbit the moon while staying in space and the rover will be landed on the moon. But this mission is going to be completely different from Chandrayaan 3. Because this time after collecting the samples, the lander will dock with the orbiter again and the orbiter will return to Earth.
Chandrayaan 4 is India’s most ambitious project in space so far
Chandrayaan 4 is India’s most ambitious project in space so far. This mission will record invaluable experiences like docking, undocking, landing and safe return with samples in space in ISRO’s book of success. On the basis of these experiences, India has also planned to establish its Indian space station in space by 2035. The Indian space station will be built by joining 5 different parts. All its parts will be sent to space through different space missions. The entire space station will be ready by 2035 by joining all the parts in space through docking. After the completion of the space station, India is preparing for the landing of Indian astronauts on the moon by 2040. This plan is a part of the vision 2047 of the government and ISRO.
To the highest peak of success in space
To reach the pinnacle of success in space, India has prepared a series of Gaganyaan, Chandrayaan and its follow-on missions. These missions are not easy but India has proved its capability in space to the whole world by soft landing Chandrayaan 3 on the moon. Now Chandrayaan 4 will enable India to carry out space missions involving astronauts and collect samples from the moon. With the success of Chandrayaan 4, India will make its own identity in the field of space all over the world.
