AIM OF THE MISSION

                                         INDIA's first lunar mission in 2008 - Chandrayaan-1 didn't land on the lunar surface, but it carried out a detailed search for water on the Moon using radars. But This Time Chandrayaan - 2 will land near to South pole region of the moon & the mission will focus on the lunar surface, searching for water and minerals and measuring moonquakes et cetera.

The key point related to this mission is that INDIA  is using its one of the most sturdy rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk-III), in this mission. It weighs 640 tonnes (almost 1.5 times the fully-loaded 747 jumbo jets) and at 44 meters is as high as a 14-story building.
