New Delhi: The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) is planning to launch India’s mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-2, by 2016, which would include an orbiter, lander and rover, an Isro spokesperson said on Friday.
Earlier, Isro chairman K. Radhakrishnan had said that the space agency will launch Chandrayaan-2 by 2016-17, according to Press Trust of India.


“Isro aims to demonstrate its capability to soft-land on the lunar surface with this mission,” said the Isro spokesperson.

The broad objectives of the mission would include the extension of scientific experiments carried out by Chandrayaan-1, India’s first mission to the moon which included a lunar orbiter and impacter.

Scientists had last year announced that using data from instruments aboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, they had found evidence of water locked in mineral grains on the surface of the moon.


“Chandrayaan-2 would be launched by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) powered by an indigenously developed cryogenic engine,” said the Isro spokesperson.

finally a Rover mission!!

 

[Skull and Bones]

ISRO should try a mission to Venus this time.

nope IMO they should as of now mostly concentrate on earth oriented missions rather than interplanetary ones

Earth oriented as in? Remote sensing? Launching commercial satellites and stuffs?

How is that going to benefit the scientific development of the nation?

yes also many more like building our own navigation system etc

How is that going to benefit the scientific development of the nation?

India is still quite poor country to invest huge amounts and run after making such Scientific developments and technological breakthrough which as of now wont have any practical application for development of nation. Leave that to big and established players as of now we will catch up eventually.

let's handover ISRO to some jattta ka chora .. he will also land a rover in sun

Why just venus ?? I was hoping that ISRO would embark on intergalactic voyage.

Jatta ka Chora

No offence to any Jat bhai.

Venus mission was never there on isro mission list.where did you get that.
I think It's Aditya- mission to sun

The mission for Venus is on it way, as far as i know.

True, so the child of a below poverty level family should work alongside their parents, because knowledge is a luxury poor cannot afford.

I said there should be, not that it exists.

Minor correction Aditya 1 would make solar observation being placed in earths orbit itself. It won't go anywhere near Sun.

Earth oriented missions? Like a journey to the center of the Earth??

Thanks for posting It buddy. but I knew that already it's Aditya 1 and will study the radiation effects and solar surface from the earth's orbit..
