The Indian government has officially approved the Chandrayaan-5 mission, marking a significant milestone in India's lunar exploration program. This ambitious project will feature a 250 kg rover, significantly heavier than the 25 kg rover used in the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
The Chandrayaan-5 mission will be conducted in collaboration with Japan, leveraging cutting-edge technology and expertise to enhance its scientific objectives.
The partnership with Japan is expected to bring advanced technology and expertise to the mission, enhancing its scientific potential and contributing to a deeper understanding of the Moon's surface and composition.
The mission will deploy a 250 kg rover, which is ten times heavier than the rover used in Chandrayaan-3. This advanced rover will conduct detailed studies of the Moon's surface, providing valuable insights into its geological and chemical makeup.
Chandrayaan-4, scheduled for launch in 2027, aims to collect and return lunar soil samples to Earth. This mission will further expand India's capabilities in lunar exploration and sample return technology.
