Isro to send orbiter, lander and rover to Moon by 2016

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.

That capsule looks very clean. Glad the launch was a go. Good luck!
 
Clean ! what do you mean ?
Lol, old man. I mean the capsule has few perturbations of the kinetic indecency. How you been, guy? So you are doing OK these days? Just turned 48...feeling old as snot. How are things in the outskirts of the Tragic Kingdom?
