The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to launch Chandrayaan-2 on July, 14 from Sriharikota. Chandrayaan-2 is India's second lunar exploration after Chandrayaan-1 which was launched in 2008.
A week before Chandrayaan-2 launch, ISRO has released a video in which they are explaining the features of Chandrayaan-2 operations.
Chandrayaan-2 will be India's first rover and world first expedition to reach Moon's south polar region.
The ISRO uploaded a video which was later tweeted by Press Information Bureau (PIB) - "We are all set, Are you?
"#Chandrayaan2 will be India’s first rover-based space mission, it will also be the world's first expedition to reach the Moon’s south polar region," PIB wrote on Twitter.
Chandrayaan-2 is India's second mission to the moon which will carry an orbiter, lander and rover to study the moon from above and its surface. The rover is named Pragyan which means 'Wisdom' in Sanskrit.
Chandrayaan-2 will spend at least 16 days orbiting Earth and later moving slowly to the moon. If all goes well then Chandrayaan will land on the moon September 27.
It is expected to make more discoveries similar to Chandrayaan-1, where it had discovered water on the moon, which was later confirmed by NASA in June 2019.
Chandrayaan-2 is an advanced version of Chandrayaan-1, which will carry 13 Indian payloads and one passive experiment from NASA. The cost of the mission is estimated to be over Rs 1000 crore.
