Chandrayaan-1 (pronunciation ⓘ; from Sanskrit: Chandra, "Moon" and yāna, "craft, vehicle") [6] was the first Indian lunar probe under the Chandrayaan programme. It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in October 2008, and operated until August 2009. The mission consisted of an orbiter and an impactor.

Chandrayaan-1, India's first mission to Moon, was launched successfully on October 22, 2008 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The spacecraft was orbiting around the Moon at a height of 100 km from the lunar surface for chemical, mineralogical and photo-geologic mapping of the Moon.

2008年10月22日 · Chandrayaan-1 is India's first mission to the moon, designed and developed by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization), Bangalore, India. This science mission represents a new dimension and a true challenge in the Indian Space Program. In Hindi, the term chandra means moon, yaan means ship (a litteral translation is MoonCraft).

2024年11月3日 · Chandrayaan-1, the first Indian deep space mission, was launched to orbit the Moon and to dispatch an impactor to the surface. Scientific goals included the study of the chemical, mineralogical and photogeologic mapping of the Moon.

Chandrayaan-1 launched on 22 October 2008 aboard PSLV-XL was a solar-powered cuboid orbiter that weighed 1,380 kg (3,042 lb) along with the Moon Impact Probe. It was powered by a single-sided solar array during the day and supported by lithium-ion batteries at night.

2025年3月21日 · Chandrayaan-1 (chandrayaan is Hindi for “moon craft”), the first lunar space probe of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), found water on the Moon. It mapped the Moon in infrared, visible, and X-ray light from lunar orbit and used reflected radiation to prospect for various elements, minerals, and ice. It operated in 2008–09.

The Chandrayaan-1 mission aimed to achieve this goal by carrying out remote sensing observations over a wide range of t electromagnetic spectrum for simultaneous mineralogical, chemical, and photo-geological mapping of the lunar surface at resolutions better tha previous and contemporary lunar missions.

2008年10月22日 · Chandrayaan-1 was India’s first mission to another world. The orbiter discovered water on the Moon. Technologies developed for Chandrayaan-1 helped kickstart India's planetary science program. On October 22, 2008, an Indian PSLV rocket launched the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft into Earth orbit.

Chandrayaan-1 was the first Indian space agency (ISRO) probe to make it to the surface of the Moon. The mission analysed the composition and geology of the lunar surface.

Significant results from Chandrayaan-1. The major discovery of the Chandrayaan-1 mission is the detection of water (H2O) and hydroxyl (OH) on the lunar surface. The data also revealed their enhanced abundance towards the polar region.
