Chandrayaan is India's first lunar exploration mission, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in October 2008. The mission aimed to study the Moon's surface, map its topography, and analyze its mineral composition. The spacecraft included an orbiter, a lander, and a rover, which provided valuable data about the Moon's geology and the presence of water ice in its polar regions.
The success of Chandrayaan marked a significant achievement for India in space exploration. Following the first mission, ISRO launched Chandrayaan-2 in July 2019, which included an orbiter, lander, and rover to further explore the Moon's south pole. These missions have contributed to our understanding of lunar science and
