Shukrayaan-1 and Chandraayan-3 missions of ISRO
About ISRO :
ISRO - Indian space research organization is the national space agency of India. It was founded on 15 august 1969 by Vikram Sarabhai. ISRO ranks at no. 5 in the world, Only after space agencies of the USA, China, Europe, and Russia. ISRO takes its orders directly from the Prime Minister Office of India. It has the budget of 1.5 US billion dollars.
Shukrayaan-1:
 |
| Venus |
Shukrayaan-1 is an upcoming Venus mission of India's space agency - ISRO. The word Shukrayaan simply means Venus craft.
Venus is called the Earth’s twin sister because it is very similar to Earth when it comes to its size, density, mass, gravity, and bulk composition.
A research team led by the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) has found out that Venus may have active volcanoes. This research make this mission so special.
India's Venus mission will study atmospheric chemistry, dynamics, compositional variations of Venus, active volcanoes etc.
The Government of India, In 2017–2018 gave the Department of Space a 23% increase in money. And under the space sciences section, the money is for "for Mars Orbiter Mission II and Mission to Venus".
ISRO and France space agency (CNES) may collaborate on this mission and jointly develop autonomous navigation and aerobraking technologies. The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) will explore Venus for the second time through India’s Shukrayaan-1.
It will launch at the end of 2023 from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

Chandraayan-3 :
After the hard landing of Vikram rover in Chandrayaan-2 mission, ISRO chairman k Sivan announced Chandraayan-3. The government of India approved this mission immediately and also gave 75 Crores (US$11 million) as an initial fund. The Mission cost may around 615 Crores (US$86 million), which is about half of the Chandrayaan-2 mission.
Since they placed the orbiter in the moon's orbit(in Chandrayaan-2), successfully and so they will only launch a lander(including a rover). They decided to set this mission in late December 2020, but coronavirus may affect his launch date.
ISRO is going to reduce its expected budget and improve technical issues in Chandraayan-3. The gravity of the Chandraayan-2 mission among world was high because it was the first attempt of human history to launch a mission on the south pole of the moon. And this gravity is maintained with Chandrayan-3.
Some reports say that Chandrayaan-3 will launch with the collaboration of Japan's space agency. Rover and launch vehicle will from japan's side and set to launch in 2024.

Hisrtory of Chandraayan'S mission :
Chandraayan-1 : It was the first attempt of ISRO to reach the moon. In this mission, they send an orbiter on the moon for various studies of the moon surface. This orbiter was expected to serve for 2 years, but unfortunately, they lost their connection in a year. Even then, this moon mission was a success because it helped to confirm the presence of water on the moon surface, and later it was confirmed by NASA.

Launched date - 22 OCT 2008
Chandraayan-2 : It was the second attempt by ISRO to reach the moon. In this mission, they send an orbiter and a lander (including a rover). The orbiter is successful, but the lander (including a rover) had a hard landing(crashed).
Launched date - 22 JUL 2018
