List-II Purpose

(A) Chandrayaan-3

(II) Attempt for soft landing on moon

(B) Gaganyaan-3

(IV) India's first crewed (human) space mission

(C) NISAR

(I) Development and launch of a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar satellite

(D) Aditya-L1

(III) Solar Observatory Mission

(A) Chandrayaan-3 — (II) Attempt for soft landing on moon: Launched on July 14, 2023, this mission was a follow-up to Chandrayaan-2. It successfully achieved a historic soft landing near the lunar South Pole on August 23, 2023, making India the fourth country to land on the Moon and the first to reach the southern polar region.

(B) Gaganyaan — (IV) India's first crewed (human) space mission: The Gaganyaan program is ISRO's landmark project to demonstrate human spaceflight capability. It aims to send a three-member crew to a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) of 400 km for a 3-day mission and bring them safely back to Earth.

(C) NISAR — (I) Development and launch of a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar satellite: The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) is a joint earth-observing mission. It is the first satellite to use two different radar frequencies (L-band and S-band) to measure changes in Earth's surface, such as movements as small as a centimeter.

(D) Aditya-L1 — (III) Solar Observatory Mission: Launched in September 2023, Aditya-L1 is India's first dedicated space mission to study the Sun. It is placed in a "Halo Orbit" around the Lagrange Point 1 (L1), allowing it to observe the Sun continuously without any eclipses or obstructions.
