ISRO identifies site for Chandrayaan-4 lander

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully identified a suitable landing site for the upcoming Chandrayaan-4 mission on the lunar surface. Following extensive analysis, ISRO officials have selected one of four potential sites located in the Mons Mouton region. This decision marks a significant step forward in India's ongoing lunar exploration efforts, building on the successes of previous missions like Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2. The targeted site is expected to provide valuable insights into the Moon's geology and contribute to scientific understanding of its resources. As ISRO prepares for this ambitious mission, the focus will now shift towards the technical aspects of the lander, ensuring its readiness for a successful lunar touchdown. Chandrayaan-4 is anticipated to further enhance India's reputation in space exploration, underscoring the nation's commitment to advancing its capabilities in this field.
