Indians will reach the moon for the first time in Chandrayaan-2 space mission

India's Space Research Agency (ISRO) achieves yet another space achievement this year 2019. The Chandrayaan-2 mission, which began on July 22, will be the first to allow Indians to study the moon on the spot . This is the country's second lunar mission, the previous one (Chandrayaan-1), was only orbital - so it could not be on the satellite's surface.

During the mission, while the ship was 5, 000 kilometers from Earth, several photos were taken. From a new perspective, we can see our blue planet clearly and with high quality. “The images we got from Earth from the spaceship are clear and quite impressive, and we are happy with how the mission has been developed so far, ” said Kailasavadivoo Sivan, president of ISRO.

Experts say the spacecraft is scheduled to land on September 6. It is furthermore estimated that the next day the Pragyan rover explorations should be started. In addition, 14 scientific charges are on board the ship and will be used in this mission that will last about a year. Chandrayaan-2's goal is to explore the entire south pole of the satellite, as well as study the chemical and mineral compositions of this region through scientific experiments.

This is a milestone in India's space development that is about to become the fourth country to reach the moon (after the United States, China and Russia) and more: it will be the first nation to take a rover to the south pole. lunar.
