Given the significant payload mass and complexity of a lunar sample return mission, LVM3 (Launch Vehicle Mark-3), ISRO's heaviest operational rocket, is the most suitable and expected launch vehicle for Chandrayaan-4.

A lunar sample return mission typically involves a lander to reach the surface, an ascender to lift the samples from the surface, and a sample return capsule to bring them back to Earth. A solar probe is used for studying the Sun, not for lunar missions.

Chandrayaan-4 is envisioned as India's first lunar sample return mission, specifically targeting the South Pole region for scientific analysis of lunar regolith.
