India's Moon Missions Advanced by PSLV and Launch Vehicle Mark-3 Rockets
India's journey to the Moon reflects a gradual evolution in rocket technology, progressing from the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) to the more powerful Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3). PSLV, first launched in 1993, became central to deploying Earth-observation and navigation satellites and supported missions like Chandrayaan-1 and Mars Orbiter. To carry heavier payloads for communication and deep space missions, India developed LVM3, which successfully launched Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3, marking significant milestones in the country's lunar exploration efforts.
