Following the Union Cabinet’s approval of India’s fourth lunar mission, the Indian scientific community has expressed its expectations from the Chandrayaan 4 mission. It said that we should be able to land a lander on the Moon and collect lunar rocks and soil and bring them back to the orbiter.
Optimistic about the efforts of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), a scientist said that we are not far from sending a cosmonaut to the Moon. The success of this mission would pave the way for future human space exploration..
Former director of the Ahmedabad Space Applications Centre, Tapan Misra, said, “We should be able to land a lander there and collect stones and lunar soil and bring it back to the orbiter, and with this orbiter, we should come back and land safely and give back,” he said. YEARS.

After landing and waiting 14 days, it is a great advance,” he said. YEARS.
Astronomer and Professor RC Kapoor explained that the Chandrayaan 4 mission will be completed by two rockets, which is a lunar sample return mission. Elaborating on the mission, the astronomer said that the mission to the Moon will be launched in 2027. “The first rocket will be like the GSLV MkIII, which will carry an ascending module and a descending module, the second rocket will go later,” RC Kapoor was quoted as saying by ANI.
Describing the mission, RC Kapoor said that lunar samples will be collected using a robotic arm on the descent module which will later be transferred to the ascending module.
The remarks come after the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved a new mission to the moon on September 18. ISRO Chairman S Somanath on Wednesday announced which are planning to launch the first module of the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS-1) by 2028.
