Inference - India's strong industrial and technological support base, along with its well-trained human resources, make it capable of undertaking in-depth studies and exploration of the Moon.

There is scope for international collaboration in future missions to explore the south-polar region of the Moon. The craters here have locations that don’t receive sunlight. These shadowed sites are cold and hold hydrogen, water, and ice. They could also host primordial material that could help us understand the origins of the Solar System. The biggest lunar crater is also in the south-polar region. The origin of this crater, which formed about 4 billion years ago, is still unclear.

Scientists are interested in the Moon to understand its origin and characteristics, and, if possible, to explore the possibility of inhabiting it – and these studies require going to the Moon. Not many countries have undertaken such studies, but India is well-positioned with its industrial and technological support base and trained human resources to venture into studying the Moon at close quarters. This feat is yet another feather in the cap of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). No wonder it attracts talented youth from the best institutions in the country.

Currently, ISRO is planning Chandrayaan 3 to demonstrate end-to-end capability for safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. The launch is scheduled for July 14, 2023, at 2.35 pm. The mission will be launched on board the Launch Vehicle Mark III (LVM 3, a.k.a. GSLV Mk III). The vehicle will carry a lander attached to a propulsion module. The latter will carry the former to a circular orbit around the Moon, after which the lander will descend to the surface. The lander module will carry a rover that it will deploy on the Moon and a few other pieces of scientific equipment.

India should spend on these high-tech areas instead of investing in available technologies that can be used more readily for the public good because they can be used for the public good, too. Developing countries need knowledge of such concepts to improve their citizens’ quality of life. Space technologies have also become essential for weather prediction, assessment of marine resources, estimation of forest cover, communication, and defense – to just name a few.
