Following the success of Chandrayaan-3, India's third mission to the Moon, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is developing expertise in missions that will be able to return samples to Earth. Officials said that Vikram Lander's Hope Experiment on September 3 was a step taken in that direction.
Hindustan Times quoted an official as saying that the results obtained after Chandrayaan-3, especially the successful Hop Experiment, will form the basis of future Moon missions. He said that based on the experiments on the Moon, the space agency will design programs where samples can be brought back to Earth. "There is no specific timeline yet, but we are working on developing our system in such a way that it can make a return flight. The hop experiment was just a demonstration of the bigger plan," the official said.
