ISRO Working on Chandrayaan 4 and 5, said Chairman V. Narayanan while sharing future plans of the Indian Space Research Organisation. He explained that the space agency is expanding its satellite program and developing stronger rocket capabilities for upcoming missions.
Narayanan revealed that in the next three years, ISRO will launch almost three times more satellites compared to the present numbers. At the same time, the agency is upgrading its Mark III launcher to carry payloads from 4,000 kg to 5,100 kg without extra costs.
He confirmed that ISRO is preparing both Chandrayaan 4 and 5, with the uncrewed mission scheduled soon and a crewed mission planned for early 2027. By 2035, India aims to complete the Bharatiya Antariksh Station and place its first module in orbit.
The ISRO chief also said India plans a Venus Orbiter Mission and aims to land on the moon again by 2040. This would put India’s space program on par with the world’s leading nations.
In another update, Narayanan highlighted Operation Sindoor, where over 400 scientists worked 24×7 to provide satellite data for national security. He praised their dedication, saying all systems worked flawlessly.
