4th on the Moon, 1st on the crucial South Polar Region.

Great going, ISRO! 🇮🇳

Time to officially greenlight the Chandrayaan-4/LUPEX joint mission with Japan.

I've directly come here to share you guys' happiness from the YouTube live. Wow! Success of a formerly oppressed people can only make us happy. As a Turkish citizen I would like to share my deeply congratulations for your brilliant achievement and wish you more for the future. In addition, you guys did it in a handicapped position in compare to the some other rich opponents in the space race. That fact makes it even more important and inspiring for the rest of the world. Bravo! 👏🏻

ISRO scripted a big breakthrough Wednesday as its Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully landed near the Moon’s south pole. In Ep 1296 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta brings in ThePrint’s science wizards — Sandhya Ramesh in Bengaluru and Mohana Basu in Delhi — to understand why the mission is important, what it hopes to uncover on the Moon, and what comes next.

From Aditya to Gaganyaan: ISRO to have packed schedule after Chandrayaan-3

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), after the success of Chandrayaan-3, has been basking in glory. However, there is a tight schedule ahead for the space agency. In a big boost to India's space prowess, the LM comprising the lander (Vikram) and the 26 kg rover (Pragyan), made the soft landing near the south polar region of the Moon on August 23,,less than a week after a similar Russian lander crashed.

Aditya L1 is a planned coronagraphy spacecraft to study the solar atmosphere, currently being designed and developed by the ISRO and various other Indian research institutes. The Aditya L1 mission is set to launch by the end of August or early September 2023, with the spacecraft already having reached the spaceport in Sriharikota.

Gaganyaan: Gaganyaan is a crewed orbital spacecraft intended to be the formative spacecraft of the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme. As per the latest update, ISRO successfully conducted a series of tests on drogue parachutes, which would play a pivotal role in stabilizing the crew module and reducing its velocity to a safe level during re-entry in the planned Gaganyaan human space flight mission. The Gaganyaan mission hopes to safely transport astronauts to Space and back. The first crewed mission was originally planned to be launched on ISRO's LVM3 in December 2021. According to reports, ISRO was aiming for a 2025 launch of Gaganyaan.

Venus Orbiter Mission: After the Moon, now ISRO is planning a mission to Venus. The Venus Orbiter Mission unofficially known as Shukrayaan is a planned orbiter to Venus to study the surface and atmosphere of Venus. In 2018, the Venus mission was in the configuration study phase and ISRO has not sought the government's full approval. For this mission, Swedish Institute of Space Physics is engaged with ISRO. Venus Orbiter Mission is planned for launch in December 2024, with an alternate window in 2031.

It's been a long journey. From ISRO transporting rocket parts and satellites on bicycles and bullock carts to reaching the moon.

I saw a few memes with Kalam saab smiling from heavens. My mom also mentioned him when I chatted with her just earlier.

The boys and girls have all done him very proud. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳
