Web series 'Space Gen - Chandrayaan' to chronicle India's landmark Lunar missions
Mumbai, December 24
India's historic journey to the Moon is set to be brought to the screen with 'Space Gen - Chandrayaan', an upcoming JioHotstar series that focuses on the country's multi-mission lunar exploration programme led by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
Produced by The Viral Fever, Space Gen - Chandrayaan traces the story of India's lunar programme. Announcing the series on social media, the makers said the show is dedicated to "every Indian who dares to dream and looks up at the Moon".
"Sapne dekhne walon ke liye. Unhe poora karne walon ke liye. Har uss Bharatiya ke liye, jo chaand ki taraf dekhta hai," the caption reads.
The series comes at a time when India's space achievements have drawn worldwide attention, particularly after the success of Chandrayaan-3 in 2023.
People across the country were glued to their screens as India's third lunar mission made its way to the South Pole of the moon and became the first country to do so.
'Space Gen - Chandrayaan' will stream on JioHotstar.

This is wonderful news! I remember watching the landing with my family, we were all so emotional. A series like this will inspire so many young kids to look at science as a career. TVF producing it gives me high hopes for quality.
Hope they show the real challenges ISRO faced, not just make a feel-good patriotic drama. The setbacks with Chandrayaan-2 were heartbreaking but taught us resilience. The story needs that depth to be truly inspiring.
As someone who moved to India for work, watching the Chandrayaan mission was my first real experience of national pride here. The energy was incredible. A series capturing that is a great idea.
"Sapne dekhne walon ke liye" – what a perfect tagline! ISRO proves that with determination, even a developing nation can lead in space exploration. Budget kam, lekin dam kamaal! 👏
Please cast good actors and get the science right. Sometimes these shows oversimplify things. We have brilliant minds at ISRO, their story should be told with accuracy and respect.
