Chandrayaan-1 was India's first lunar probe launched in 2008. It helped map the lunar surface and search for water ice. Chandrayaan-2, launched in 2019, consisted of an orbiter, lander named Vikram, and rover called Pragyan. Vikram attempted to soft land on the Moon's south pole region in September 2019 but lost communication shortly before landing, crashing onto the lunar surface instead. The orbiter continues to study the Moon from its polar orbit. While the lander mission was not fully successful, it has provided valuable data and experience to further India's lunar exploration goals through ISRO.
