Chandrayaan-4 is set to launch around 2028, and it's all about India trying to be the fourth country to bring back samples from the moon. Isro's Chairman, S Somanath, revealed the mission's primary goal during a recent presentation at the National Space Science Symposium, emphasizing the scientific significance of collecting and studying lunar samples.

Chandrayaan-3 mission: Why Pragyan Rover, Vikram Lander failed to leave imprint on lunar soil

[ad_1] While ISRO is still working on reviving the Chandrayaan-3 mission in the form of Pragyan Rover and Vikram Lander, scientists have kept their research on regarding the mission through the huge amount of data sent from there. As far as the mission's objectives are concerned, Chandrayaan-3 has already accomplished its major tasks. Now, ISRO is looking to add to that by reviving Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, both of which are sleeping on the Lunar surface. They are hoping against hope that both will come back to life soon.In the meanwhile, the focus of ISRO is on the Moon soil as it can reveal various possibilities that can be of use in the future for potential human presence on the lunar landscape.

Earth can be hit by multiple asteroids at once! Study reveals horrific truth

On Tuesday, September 27, NASA reached a historic milestone when it struck an asteroid with a spacecraft with an expectation to change its trajectory. Part of its planetary defense system, this can be a very important tool for us in case an asteroid heads towards the Earth and scientists need to deflect it using a spacecraft. However, a new study has revealed shocking information that the Earth is more likely to get struck with multiple asteroids at once instead of just a single asteroid. If the claims are true, then the planetary defense sy...
