Chandrayaan-1 was India's first lunar mission, launched in 2008. It successfully orbited the Moon and conducted various scientific experiments.

Mangalyaan, also known as the Mars Orbiter Mission, was India's first mission to Mars. It successfully entered Mars' orbit in 2014, making India the first Asian country to reach Mars.

The primary objective of the Chandrayaan-2 mission was to study the lunar surface, including its composition, mineralogy, and geological features.

Aditya-L1 is India's first mission to study the Sun's corona. It is designed to observe the Sun's outer atmosphere and investigate solar phenomena such as coronal heating and solar flares.

Gaganyaan is India's first crewed space mission, aiming to send three astronauts into space. The mission is planned to launch in 2023.
