🚀 Chandrayaan-4 Is Coming! India’s Next Big Leap to the Moon 🌕

India is once again reaching for the stars — or rather, the Moon! After the incredible success of Chandrayaan‑3, ISRO has officially confirmed that Chandrayaan‑4 is on its way, and it’s going to be bigger and smarter than ever before.

🛰️ What Is Chandrayaan‑4?

Chandrayaan‑4 is India’s first lunar sample-return mission. That means it won’t just land on the Moon — it’ll collect soil and rock from the surface and bring it back to Earth for scientists to study.

📅 When Will It Launch?

The mission is expected to launch between 2027 and 2028. The government has already approved the mission and allotted ₹2,104 crores for it.

🚀 How Will It Work?

• Two rocket launches
• Five modules (lander, ascender, propulsion, re-entry, transfer)
• Robotic arm for lunar sample collection
• Return capsule to bring samples back to Earth

🔬 Why Does It Matter?

This mission is a huge step toward future human space exploration. It boosts India’s capability in docking, robotics, re-entry tech, and lunar science.
