India Crewed Lunar Landing
India's crewed lunar landing roadmap targets an indigenous Moon landing by 2040 using new heavy-lift, docking, and landing systems.
ISRO treats the crewed lunar landing as a vision-level objective, with human-rated vehicles, docking, lander, and re-entry technology still being matured.
