Chandrayaan-2 mission: Rover to spend 14 days on moon's surface, says Isro chief Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is leaving no stone unturned to make the Chandrayaan-2 mission a success.
The exercise involves a prototype of the lander simulating a soft landing from a height of 70-80 metres.
NEW DELHI: India's upcoming Rs 800-crorewill be cheaper than Hollywood's 2014 sci-fi movie 'Interstellar' that cost Rs 1,062 crore ($165 million).
"Isro will try to launch the Chandrayaan-2 mission, involving a soft-landing on the moon's surface and rover walk, sometime in April.
Dr Sivan said, "We are trying for a dawn-to-dusk landing and rover walk on the lunar's mission for maximum utilisation of the scientific mission.
If we are not able to land in April due to various factors, then the mission will be launched in November.
Analysing these rocks and the surface will help us explore the moon better and enrich our understanding of the universe." »
