India's Chandrayaan Missions: Exploring the Moon for Science and Resources ...
India's space program has made rapid advances in recent decades, with a focus on exploring the Moon through the Chandrayaan series of lunar orbiter missions. Chandrayaan-1, launched in 2008, was India's first mission to the Moon. Its objectives included high-resolution mineralogical and ch...
