The Indian Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved four major space missions, signaling a significant boost to India's space exploration efforts. These include the Chandrayaan-4 mission aimed at lunar sample collection and safe return to Earth, the Venus Orbiter Mission (VOM) to study Venus’s atmosphere and geology, the development of the Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV) with enhanced payload capacity, and the establishment of the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS) by 2035. The Chandrayaan-4 mission, with a budget of Rs 2,104.06 crore, is expected to be completed within 36 months and will lay the groundwork for India's first manned lunar landing by 2040. The VOM, budgeted at Rs 1,236 crore, is scheduled for launch in March 2028 and aims to provide insights into planetary evolution. The NGLV will support both national and commercial space missions by increasing payload capacity to 30 tonnes to Low Earth Orbit. The expanded Gaganyaan program now includes additional funding, aiming for human spaceflight missions and the establishment of BAS-1 by 2028.
