Explanation
The Lunar Polar Exploration Mission (LUPEX), also referred to as Chandrayaan-5, is a collaborative robotic mission between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Thus, Statement 1 is correct.
The division of responsibilities for the mission is as follows:
- JAXA is responsible for providing the launch vehicle (H3 rocket) and the lunar rover.
- ISRO is responsible for developing the lunar lander.
Statement 2 is incorrect because it reverses these roles, claiming JAXA is building the lander while ISRO handles the rover and launch vehicle. The mission is designed to explore the Moon's south pole, specifically targeting permanently shadowed regions to investigate the quantity and quality of water ice. It is currently planned for launch no earlier than 2028.
