Chandrayaan-4: ISRO has found a lunar landing site for its Chandrayaan-4 mission. Two years before the mission’s launch, ISRO has identified a site in the lunar south pole region for its lander. This mission will bring lunar samples. This will be India’s most complex lunar mission to date. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Chairman V. Narayanan previously stated, “We are targeting 2028 for Chandrayaan-4”.
Chandrayaan-4 consists of five main components: the Propulsion Module (PM), Descender Module (DM), Ascender Module (AM), Transfer Module (TM), and Re-entry Module (RM). The DM and AM will form a stack that will gently descend to the designated lunar surface.
Officials said they identified the locations MM-1, MM-3, MM-4, and MM-5, of which MM-4 was selected for landing. They said that all four sites in the Mons Mountain region were thoroughly evaluated based on their elevation and terrain features using the Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) and various images. Officials said this revealed that the area around MM-4, which is 1 kilometer long and 1 kilometer wide, is the safest. The average slope here is 5 degrees, the average elevation is 5334 meters, and the grids, 24 meters long and 24 meters wide, are the safest. Therefore, MM-4 is considered a suitable site for the Chandrayaan-4 mission.
Chandrayaan-4 consists of five main components: the Propulsion Module (PM), the Descender Module (DM), the Ascender Module (AM), the Transfer Module (TM), and the Re-entry Module (RM). The DM and AM will form a stack that will softly descend to the designated lunar surface. The AM and DM will be guided by the correct path and navigation, guidance, and control systems to ensure the primary landing. Furthermore, a landing site that meets all the lander’s requirements will be selected to ensure a safe landing.
