Previous Chandrayaan Mission
- Chandrayaan-1: Launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in 2008, Chandrayaan-1 was India’s first lunar probe. It successfully discovered water molecules on the Moon’s surface and contributed to the understanding of the Moon’s geological and mineralogical characteristics.
- Chandrayaan-2: Launched in July 2019, Chandrayaan-2 was India’s second lunar exploration mission. It consisted of an orbiter, a lander named Vikram, and a rover named Pragyan. While the orbiter continues to function and send back valuable data, the Vikram lander unfortunately crash-landed on the lunar surface, resulting in the loss of the rover’s planned mission.
