Chandrayaan-2 is the second moon exploration mission after Chandrayaan-1. It was launched from second launchpad in Satish Dhavan Space centre on 22nd July 2019. The project is developed and operated by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). India will become the first country to land on the Far side of the Moon. Far side is that side of the moon that is always hidden from us due to Synchronous rotation of the moon.
The main objective of this launch is to demonstrate a soft-landing capability on the moon surface and operating rover on the surface. A successful landing will make India fourth country to be able to achieve a soft-landing on the surface of the moon. Scientific studies include lunar topography, mineralogy, elemental abundance etc.
