After giving a befitting reply to Pakistan under Operation Sindoor, India is going to do such a big job, which will give a big setback to Pakistan and its Jiggeri friends- China, Turki and Azerbaijan. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) announced on Thursday (May 15, 2025) that it had held a third face-to-face technical meeting (TIM-3) with the Japanese Space Agency JAXA for the Chandrayaan-5/Lupax (lunar polar exploration) mission.
ISRO said that the Chandrayaan-5/Lupax Mission will prove to be an important milestone in India’s lunar exploration campaign, which has been envisaged by Indian skyscrapers (astronauts) to land on the moon by 2040.
According to the information given by the Indian Space Agency, ISRO, JXA and Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) were attended by senior officials, project officials and technical team members in a meeting held at ISRO’s headquarters from 13 to 14 May.

The organization said that this mission will be carried out to study the volatile materials of the moon, including water in the surrounding areas of the southern pole (PSR) of the Moon, in collaboration with JXA. According to ISRO, this mission will be launched by Jixa through its H3-24L projection vehicle. This mission will take with it to the Chandra Lander Japan -made Chandra Rover MHI built by the Indian Space Agency. According to a statement issued here, apart from Chandra Lander, ISRO will also have the responsibility of developing some scientific equipment for the mission.
The space agency said that scientific equipment for the mission will be provided by ISRO, JXA, ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), which is integral to the study of all the lunar polar fields and in-situ analysis of reserved volatile substances in the lunar polar region and in-situ analysis (it is implemented) in the study of their natural, untouchables, or events.
The Central Government gave the Chandrayaan-5/Lupax Mission on March 10, 2025 as financial approval.
