Consider the following statements regarding the Chandrayaan-4 Mission :
1. The mission aims to demonstrate major technologies required not only for docking, undocking, and landing on the Moon, but also for safely returning to Earth and for collecting and analysing lunar samples.
2. It is a crucial step towards establishing India's capabilities for a human mission to the Moon, targeted for the year 2045.
3. The total fund requirement for the technology demonstration under the mission is approximately ₹ 10,000 crore.
How many of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Answer: A
Only statement 1 is correct, so the answer is Only one.
When the Union Cabinet approved Chandrayaan-4 in September 2024, it described the mission as demonstrating the technologies for landing on the Moon, collecting lunar samples, docking and undocking, and returning safely to Earth with the samples for analysis. Statement 1 matches.
The other two figures are wrong. The national target for an Indian landing on the Moon is 2040, not 2045, and the approved cost of the mission was about ₹ 2,104 crore, not ₹ 10,000 crore.
