lunar mission

As we wait with bated breath for the launch of Chandrayaan-3, here’s a journey back in time to how the mission came to be, and its significance in India’s quest to explore space.

Deemed as the most ambitious moon exploration project by the Government of India till date, the mission has been developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

From experiments on the lunar surface to trying to definitively provide proof of ice-water, here’s what we can expect from Chandrayaan 2.

Chandrayaan-2 will land on the surface of the moon in 2017. Solar mission Aditya L1 is slated for launch in 2019. Here's more about ISRO's plans for the future.
