Chandrayaan-2 India's 2nd Mission To Moon by Nobody: 6:57am On Jun 19, 2019
Chandrayaan-2 is India's second lunar exploration mission after Chandrayaan-1 to be launched on 14 July 2019 at 21:21 UTC and a successful landing would make India the 4th country to soft-land on the Moon, a feat achieved only by the space agencies of the US, USSR, and China.

Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the mission is planned to be launched to the Moon by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk III).It includes a lunar orbiter, lander and rover, all developed indigenously.

Chandrayaan-2 will attempt to soft land a lander and rover in a high plain between two craters, Manzinus C and Simpelius N, at a latitude of about 70° south.

If successful, Chandrayaan-2 will be the first mission to land a rover near the lunar south pole.

A decade ago, India entered the record books with the first Chandrayaan mission, which amongst many of its objectives was even able to detect the existence of water on the lunar surface.

With bigger dreams in mind and a couple of delays later, the Chandrayaan 2 finally has a launch date for later this year.

The mission is also scheduled to collect scientific data on lunar topography, mineralogy, the abundance of certain elements, aspects regarding the lunar exosphere, and signatures of hydroxyl and water ice.

Chandrayaan 2 mission will include three modules: an orbiter, a lander and a rover.

All of them developed in India. Once in the designated position, the lander will separate itself from the orbiter module and will proceed to soft-land on the moon. The spot for the touch down has been pre-determined to be near the south pole of the moon. This area of the lunar surface has not been studied by any other country to date.

This will not only put India on the map for space exploration but will also grant them the opportunity to name the location.

Chandrayaan-2, has three modules namely Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) & Rover (Pragyan).

The Orbiter and Lander modules will be interfaced mechanically and stacked together as an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-III launch vehicle.

The Rover is housed inside the Lander. After launch into earth bound orbit by GSLV MK-III, the integrated module will reach Moon orbit using Orbiter propulsion module. Subsequently, Lander will separate from the Orbiter and soft land at the predetermined site close to lunar South Pole.

Further, the Rover will roll out for carrying out scientific experiments on the lunar surface. Instruments are also mounted on Lander and Orbiter for carrying out scientific experiments.


All the modules are getting ready for Chandrayaan-2 launch during the window of July 09, to July 16, 2019, with an expected Moon landing on September 06, 2019.
