No mega rocket for crewed Moon mission, Isro to rely on docking

India aims to achieve its planned crewed mission to the Moon by 2040 using multiple launches and docking technology, rather than a single large rocket. Isro’s recent success with the Space Docking Experiment (SpaDeX) will provide valuable insights for future missions, including a space station project and future lunar landings.
