India’s third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, has achieved remarkable success in the realm of space and technology, paving the way for future missions. The strong foundation of ISRO has played a crucial role in this accomplishment, as the space agency strives to position India at the forefront of innovation and technology. Despite the resounding triumph of Chandrayaan-3, ISRO remains committed to planning upcoming missions, with a particular focus on retrieving samples from the Moon. Discover what lies ahead after the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

The tasks of the month are coming

After the achievement of India’s third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is honing its capabilities for missions to bring lunar samples back to Earth. According to a Hindustan Times report, an ISRO official stated that the findings of Chandrayaan-3, particularly the successful hop test by the Vikram lander on September 3, will serve as a basis for future lunar missions. ISRO plans to design programs based on lunar experiments to facilitate the safe return of samples to Earth, although an exact timeline has yet to be confirmed. It should be noted that only a few nations have demonstrated the ability to perform takeoffs from other celestial bodies. The Vikram lander raised itself about 40 cm before landing again. ISRO expressed its enthusiasm for the successful experiment and highlighted its importance for future sample returns and human missions

Looking at the current trends of the technological age, this future task seems very possible. Even NASA has recently had success retrieving a piece of the Bennu asteroid from space using the Osiris-Rex spacecraft. It was nothing short of magic.

The next phase of Chandrayaan-3

Although Chandryaan-3 has achieved all its objectives, ISRO scientists hope that this mission could be extended. For this, ISRO is waiting for a signal from the Pragyan Rover and the Vikram Lander, which are currently sleeping on the south pole of the moon’s surface. Both went to sleep at the beginning of September due to the long lunar night, as the devices run on solar energy and cannot be used without charging sunlight. ISRO is optimistic about the recovery of the two and if they wake up, it will be a huge milestone for the Chandrayaan-3 scientists.
