Chandrayaan-1

Space exploration in 2021 will see some major milestones to look forward to. From maiden flights to fiery endings, long-awaited launches to history-making first steps, here are some of the biggest upcoming events in space exploration this year.

NASA has pinpointed India’s missing Vikram lander through the lens of its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, bringing an end to a three-month search for the fragmented spacecraft, with fresh images revealing its exact whereabouts.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO has failed to pinpoint India's Vikram lunar lander.

The team now appears to have pinpointed the Chandrayaan-2 lander's location, with attempts underway to restore a connection.

India's attempt to be the fourth nation to land on the Moon has ended in silence after contact with the Vikram lander was lost.

Too small to be seen with optical telescopes, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Indian Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft have been located found by ground-based radar stations using a pioneering radar technique that could help in planning future missions to the Moon.

Recent findings from a NASA instrument aboard the Indian Chandrayaan-1 probe orbiting the Moon are giving scientists strong evidence that our satellite isn't as dry as previously thought, and that it hosts large quantities of magmatic water in its core.

NASA report that data from three separate space missions reveal the presence of water molecules on the moon.

Special sensing technology developed by Raytheon Company for the U.S. Navy's miniaturized radio frequency system is aboard NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), one of two spacecraft hoping to find photographic evidence that the polar regions of the moon contain ice. Until now, man hasn’t been

The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully launched Chandrayaan-1, the country’s first attempt at a moon landing.
