India plans to launch its first mission to moon this year. Indian Prime Minister has announced that this year, by October, India will send its moon mission on Chandrayan-I to moon. It will be an unmanned mission and will orbit the moon for two years.
It will carry some investigative instruments from US as well. In all 11 instruments have been integrated – 6 indigenous and five under international cooperation – on the spacecraft.
PSLV – or Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle – will be used for the purpose. Currently the spacecraft is being thoroughly tested as the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has already completed it. It is the size of an office cubicle.
The next flight to moon will land a rover on the moon itself to collect samples of rock and soil on moon for testing. This will be done in a JV with Russia.
