Last Updated On: 13 August 2023
Here is a list of all the Chandrayaan missions launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO):
Chandrayaan-1: It was the first lunar exploration mission by ISRO, launched on October 22, 2008. The mission included an orbiting spacecraft and an impactor probe named Moon Impact Probe (MIP) that was designed to impact the Moon's surface. Chandrayaan-1 operated until August 29, 2009, and made significant discoveries, including evidence of water on the Moon.
Chandrayaan-2: This was India's second lunar exploration mission, consisting of an orbiter, a lander named Vikram, and a rover named Pragyan. It was launched on July 22, 2019. However, the lander lost communication during the final descent, and the planned soft landing on the lunar surface was not achieved. The orbiter, however, continues to orbit the Moon and conduct scientific observations.
Chandrayaan-3 (Upcoming): ISRO is planning to launch Chandrayaan-3 as a follow-up mission to Chandrayaan-2. The mission aims to land a rover on the lunar surface. However, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the exact launch date for Chandrayaan-3 has not been announced.
As of my last update in September 2021, Chandrayaan-3 had not been launched yet. It was still a planned lunar mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The mission was intended to be the third in the Chandrayaan series, following Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2.
Chandrayaan-3 was planned to address the issues faced during the landing phase of Chandrayaan-2 and aim for a successful soft landing on the lunar surface to further explore the Moon's south polar region.
However, please note that my information might be outdated. For the latest and most accurate updates on the Chandrayaan-3 mission and its launch status, I recommend checking the official website of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) or reputable news sources for recent developments beyond September 2021.
