Newdelhi:22/7/25:Today marks the 6th anniversary of the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Chandrayaan-2 launch. The mission aimed to study the Moon’s topography, seismography, mineral distribution, and surface composition, with a focus on the lunar south pole.

Akashvani correspondent reports that India’s second lunar exploration mission, which successfully lifted off on July 22, 2019, from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, primarily aimed to explore the lunar surface, particularly the south pole, and consisted of an orbiter, lander (Vikram), and rover (Pragyan). Although the lander faced a setback due to a software glitch, resulting in a crash landing on September 6, 2019, the orbiter continues to operate, providing valuable insights into lunar science and mapping the minerals and water molecules in polar regions. Equipped with eight experiments, it has been mapping minerals and water molecules in polar regions. The mission’s data has been released to the public, enabling further exploration and discovery. Chandrayaan-2’s legacy serves as a testament to ISRO’s capabilities and dedication to space exploration, inspiring future lunar endeavours.
