SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Mangalyaan

The question asks for India's first interplanetary mission, meaning a spacecraft sent to orbit or study another planet.

Mangalyaan, officially the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), was launched by ISRO on 5 November 2013 and successfully entered Mars orbit on 24 September 2014.

Because Mars is a separate planet, this qualifies as India's first interplanetary mission.

The mission made India the first country to reach Mars orbit on its maiden attempt, and the first Asian nation to do so, and it was achieved at a remarkably low cost.

Shukrayaan is a planned but not-yet-launched orbiter to Venus, so it cannot be India's first interplanetary mission.

Chandrayaan-1 was a mission to the Moon (Earth's natural satellite, not a planet), and Aditya-L1 is a solar observatory studying the Sun, so neither counts as interplanetary.

Hence India's first interplanetary mission is Mangalyaan.
