ISRO's Exciting Space Exploration Plans: Chandrayaan-3, Aditya-L1, and More

 ISRO's Director of the Human Space Flight Center, Umamaheswaran, has announced exciting plans for the organization's upcoming space exploration missions.

Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar mission, is expected to take place by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. The mission will focus on landing a rover on the lunar surface to explore and study the moon's south pole.

In addition to Chandrayaan-3, ISRO is also in discussions about a future mission to Mars. However, the organization's immediate focus is on the Aditya-L1 mission, set to launch in June-July of this year.
