Chandrayaan 3 achieved a significant milestone by

Solution

Chandrayaan 3 has made history by becoming the first mission to soft-land on the lunar south pole, a region that has never been explored before.  The mission aimed to demonstrate safe and soft lunar landing, rover mobility, and in-situ scientific experiments.  India now joins the United States, Russia, and China as one of the few countries to successfully land on the Moon. Chandrayaan-3 is expected to operate for at least one lunar day (14 Earth days) on the lunar surface. The Pragyan rover will move around the landing site within a radius of 500 meters, conducting experiments and sending data and images to the lander. The Vikram lander will relay the data and images to the orbiter, which will then transmit them to Earth. Lander and Rover modules are collectively equipped with advanced scientific payloads. About ISRO Founded: 15 August 1969         Headquarters: Bangaluru                       Chairman: S. Somnath ISRO's Future Expeditions Chandrayaan-4: Navigating the Path of Lunar Evolution LUPEX: Lunar Polar Exploration (LUPEX) mission, a collaborative effort between ISRO and JAXA(Japan), is poised to explore the Moon's polar regions. Aditya-L1: Aditya L1 will be the first space based Indian mission to study the Sun. XPoSat (X-ray Polarimeter Satellite): It is India’s first dedicated polarimetry mission to study various dynamics of bright astronomical X-ray sources in extreme conditions. NISAR: NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observatory being jointly developed by NASA and ISRO. Shukrayaan 1: It is a planned mission to send an orbiter to Venus, the second planet from the Sun. It is expected to study Venus’s geological and volcanic activity, emissions on the ground, wind speed, cloud cover, and other planetary characteristics.
