Chandrayaan-4: What to expect from India's next Lunar mission

By- Srushti sharma

The Chandrayaan-4 mission is the next big advancement in space exploration that ISRO is preparing.

Experts believe that Chandrayaan-4 will return lunar samples to Earth in contrast to its predecessors.

After reaching the moon, the spacecraft will land, gather samples, and then make a spacecraft connection with another module.

The two modules will separate into two sections when they get closer to Earth: one will circle the planet, while the other will return to it.

The mission's goal is to execute a difficult landing on the uncharted lunar rim.

 In addition, the rover will cover a far greater area—1000 x 1000 meters—than Chandrayaan-3, which only covered 500 x 500 metres.

The ability of the mission to return lunar samples to Earth will decide its success. Two strong rockets are needed for this difficult procedure in order to return cargo with moon samples.

For the lunar mission "LuPEX," which intends to investigate the moon's darker side, ISRO and JAXA are working together.

The mission's goal is to gather samples and bring them back to Earth from the lunar south polar area, which is thought to have significant water ice deposits.
