ISRO chairperson S Somanath calls for de-regulating controls in the space sector to promote growth and progress, emphasizing the role of the private sector in India s satellite-building capabilities.
Following the triumph of its maiden Moon landing with Chandrayaan-3, India has set sights on its next lunar endeavour, Chandrayaan-4, aiming to retrieve samples from the lunar south pole.
Trending News: ISRO is considering the possibility of Chandrayaan-3 s return to Earth, although experts believe it may be futile due to communication system issues.
The Chandrayaan-4 spacecraft will travel to the moon, land, collect samples, and then connect to another module in space. The module will then return to Earth orbit. As the two modules approach Earth, they will separate, with one part returning to Earth and the other will keep orbiting the planet.
