 India is planning to launch its Chandrayaan-4 moon sample-return mission in 2028, with a collaboration with Japan on an uncrewed lunar lander and rover. The mission aims to collect approximately 6.6 pounds of lunar samples from the water-ice-rich area near the moon's south pole and return them to Earth. This marks India's return to the moon after its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully landed near the lunar south pole in 2019.
