Chandrayaan-4 schedule confirmed as ISRO outlines next lunar mission

The Indian Space Research Organisation has confirmed a working schedule for Chandrayaan-4, describing a sample-return architecture that builds on the landing experience of the previous mission.

Why the date matters

Lunar windows are unforgiving. A slip of a few weeks can push a mission into the next season, raising costs and crowding the integration hall.

Public communication

ISRO said it would publish a plain-language explainer alongside the technical handbook so that school students can follow the mission.
