Chandrayaan-2 is India's second lunar mission, launched on July 22nd 2019 with the aim of improving understanding of the moon through an orbiter, lander and rover. The orbiter will orbit 100km from the moon's surface and carry 8 instruments to analyze the moon's topography and atmosphere. The lander, named Vikram, will deploy the rover Pragyan to conduct surface experiments over a 14 earth day mission. Chandrayaan-2 seeks to further scientific knowledge and advance India's space capabilities.

Chandrayaan II
•Chandrayaan-2, India’s 2nd moon mission (after Chandrayaan-1, 2008) was successfully launched on 22nd July at 2.43 pm by GSLV-MkIII-M1 (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III) from Second Launch Pad at Satish Dhawan Space Center Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh). •Main aim is to improve our understanding about the Moon discoveries, latest inventions that will benefit India. •It will also provide detailed information of moon’s topography and atmosphere leading to a better understanding of Moon.
•With a total mission mass of 3.8 tonnes, the entire project is set to cost Rs 978 crore. •Rs 603 crore for the spacecraft and Rs 375 crore for the GSLV Mk-III. •Chandrayaan-2 consists of an orbiter, a lander (Vikram), and a rover (Pragyan). •Chandrayaan 2 will be India’s first interplanetary mission to be steered by two women, project director M Vanitha and mission director Ritu Karidhal.
 On 15th July, The launch was called off due to technical problems in the fuel conductor.  The countdown for the launch of Chandrayaan-2, on board the GSLV Mk-III rocket, was scheduled for 2.51 am.  It was stopped 56 minutes and 24 seconds before lift-off at 1.55 am, following an announcement from the Mission Control Centre. The technical snag was noticed during the cryogenic fuel was being loaded.

Operator - Indian Space Research Organization Type of Mission - Lunar orbiter, Lander and Rover Duration of Mission - Orbiter: 1 year Lander: >15 Days Rover: >15 Days Launch Mass - Approx. 3850 Kg Mass of Payload - Orbiter: approx 2,379 Kg Lander: approx. 1,471 Kg Rover: approx. 27 Kg Date of Launch - 22nd July 2019. Rocket - GSLV Mk III Launch Site - Satish Dhawan Space Centre Sriharikota
Power – Orbiter: 1Kw Vikram Lander: 650W Pragyan Rover: 50W SATCAT No. – 2019-042A Orbital Insertion – 20 August 2019, 9:02 IST Spacecraft Component- Rover Landing Date – 7 September 2019 Mission Cost – Rs. 978 Crores Rs. 603 Crores for satellite, lander and rover Rs. 375 Crores for the launch
GSLV Mk–III Rocket Known as Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark - III
GSLV Mk–III Rocket •GSLV Mk-III [Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark- III] launch vehicle, which is the most powerful launcher we have used till date. •GSLV Mk-III, chosen to launch Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft, is a three-stage heavy lift launch vehicle developed by ISRO. •The vehicle has two solid strap-on, a core liquid booster and a cryogenic upper stage.
GSLV Mk–III Rocket GSLV Mk-III Specifications Height: 43.43m Vehicle Diameter: 4.0m Heat Shield (Payload Fairing) Diameter: 5.0m Number of Stages: 3 Lift off Mass: 640 tonnes.
ROVER
ROVER  Rover also known as Pragyan will have two instruments on board. On the surface of the Moon the instrument will test the mineral and chemical compositions and also about soil and rocks formation. Data on and around the South Pole will be collected and sent. That is it will send information from the moon to Vikram Lander.
ROVER • Lander will send data to Orbiter. •Then the Orbiter will send it to the ISRO centre. This whole process will take about 15 minutes. •So, it can be said that information sent from Pragyan Robot will take about 15 minutes to reach the ISRO centre in India. •Dimensions: 0.9 × 0.75 × 0.85 m •Power: 50 W •Travel speed: 1 cm/sec.
ROVER  One of the instruments on Pragyan is a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS). Coming from the Laboratory for Electro Optic Systems (LEOS) in Bengaluru, LIBS' main objective is to identify the elements that are present near the landing site. To do this, laser pulses are fired at various locations and the radiation from the decayed plasma is analyzed.
Chandrayaan II
LANDER
LANDER Lander also known as Vikram. ISRO has named Lander after the founder of ISRO and the father of Indian Space Program Vikram Sarabhai. The five-legged lander will have three instruments onboard. They are the Radio Anatomy of Moon- Bound Hypersensitive Ionosphere and an Atmosphere Probe (Rambha) that will measure the density of the lunar sub surface and changes around it.
LANDER It’s named ‘Vikram’ to honour the late Dr Vikram Sarabhai, who was the former chairman of ISRO and is widely regarded as the ‘Father of the Indian Space Programme’. It has been developed to operate for 14 days or one Lunar day. During this time period, the Vikram Lander will be constantly communicating with the Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) in Byalalu near Bengaluru.
LANDER The same network will be used by the Orbiter and Rover for communications. The lander weighs 1,471 kg including the Pragyan Rover (27 kg) inside and it’s capable of generating about 650 W of electricity. Further, the Chandra Surface Thermo physical Experiment will be used to measure the thermal temperature around the South Pole of the moon.  thirdly, is the instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) which will measure the seismicity or quake or tremor-potential of the region. It will use scientifically for 15 days. Its initial design was made by ISRO's Space Application Centre Ahmedabad. Later, it was developed by the URSC (U R Rao Satellite Centre) of Bengaluru. ISRO has made an indigenous Lander on Russia's refusal.
LANDER Dimensions: 2.54 × 2 × 1.2m Gross lift-off mass: 1,471 kg (3,243 lb) Propellant mass: 845 kg (1,863 lb) Dry mass: 626 kg (1,380 lb) Power generation capability: 650 W
Chandrayaan II
ORBITER
ORBITER Orbiter of Chandrayaan-2 will be installed at 100 km above the moon and consists of eight instruments. Specifications of these instruments are not provided that will be loaded on to the rocket. But there will be an Imaging Infra-red Spectometer (IIRS) which will try to identify minerals and indicators of hydroxyl and water molecules. It will operate on solar power.
ORBITER It will be circling the information from Lander and Rover to the ISRO Centre. It will also bring the command sent from ISRO to the lander and the rover. It was generated by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and handed it to ISRO in 2015.
ORBITER •Dimensions: 3.2 × 5.8 × 2.2 m •Gross lift-off mass: 2,379 kg (5,245 lb) •Propellant mass: 1,697 kg (3,741 lb) •Dry mass: 682 kg (1,504 lb) •Mission life: 1 year in lunar orbit •Power generation capacity: 1000 W
