ABOUT CHANDRAYAAN 2
Chandrayaan-2 (Sanskrit: चन्द्रयान-२; Sanskrit: [t͡ɕən̪d̪ɾəjaːna d̪ʋi]; lit: Moon-craft[14][15] About this soundpronunciation (help·info)) is India's second lunar exploration mission after Chandrayaan-1.[16] Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO),[17][18] the mission was launched from the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 22 July 2019 at 2.43 PM IST (09:13 UTC) to the Moon by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk III). [19][8][9]The planned orbit has a perigee of 169.7 km and an apogee of 45475 Km . It consists of a lunar orbiter, lander and rover, all developed in India.[20] The main scientific objective is to map the location and abundance of lunar water.
The lander and the rover will land in a high plain between two craters, Manzinus C and Simpelius N, at a latitude of about 70° south on 7 th September, 2019. The wheeled rover will move on the lunar surface and will perform on-site chemical analysis for a period of 14 days(1 Lunar day). It can relay data to Earth through the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter and lander, which will fly on the same launch.The orbiter will keep working on its mission for 1 year of duration in a circularized lunar polar orbit of 100 × 100 km.[21][22][23]
Launch of Chandrayaan-2 was originally scheduled for 14 July 2019 at 21:21 UTC (15 July 2019 2:51 IST) but was called off due to a technical snag noticed around 56 minutes before launch.[24][7] It was launched on 22 July 2019 14:43 IST (09:13 UTC) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.
A successful landing would make India the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, after the space agencies of the USSR, USA and China.[25] If successful, Chandrayaan-2 will be the southernmost lunar landing, aiming at 67°S or 70°S latitude.[26][27][28]
