Chandrayaan-4, India’s first lunar sample-return mission, is scheduled for launch in 2028 as part of ISRO’s expanded roadmap for deep space exploration. The mission is expected to collect and bring back lunar soil and rock samples, placing India among the few nations capable of executing such a technically advanced operation. The timeline aligns with ISRO’s broader goals, which include tripling spacecraft production, increasing launch frequency, advancing human spaceflight through the Gaganyaan program, and establishing the initial module of an Indian Space Station by 2028. These efforts collectively strengthen India’s scientific capabilities and elevate its position in the global space sector.
