    Question

    India successfully landed on Moon through:

    A.

    Chandrayaan-I

    B.

    Chandrayaan-II

    C.

    Chandrayaan-III

    D.

    Chandrayaan-IV

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Chandrayaan-III. 
    Explanation:
    · The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully executed a soft landing on the moon with the Chandrayaan-III mission on August 23, 2023.
    · The lander module, named Vikram, successfully touched down on the lunar south pole region.
    · This achievement made India the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon and the first to land successfully on the south pole.
    · The mission's success marked a significant milestone for India's space program and its global standing in space exploration.
    · Following the landing, the Pragyan rover was deployed to conduct in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface. 
    Information Booster:
    · The Chandrayaan-III mission was launched on July 14, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, using a LVM3 (Launch Vehicle Mark 3) rocket.
    · The landing site near the lunar south pole is of great scientific interest because it is believed to contain water ice in permanently shadowed craters. 
    Additional Information:
    Chandrayaan-I (Option a)
    · Launched in 2008, this was India's first lunar mission.
    · It was an orbiter mission and did not perform a soft landing.
    · The primary achievement was confirming the presence of water molecules on the Moon through its Moon Impact Probe (MIP). 
    Chandrayaan-II (Option b)
    · Launched in 2019, this mission also aimed for a soft landing on the lunar south pole.
    · The mission was partially successful; the orbiter continued to function, but the Vikram lander crashed during its final descent due to a software glitch. 
    Chandrayaan-IV (Option d)
    · This is a future mission currently in the planning stage, not a past mission that has already landed.
    · The objective of Chandrayaan-IV is to achieve a lunar sample return, bringing back lunar rocks and soil to Earth.
