 FUTURE MISSION
Chandrayaan – 2
 After the success of chandryaan-1, ISRO is planning to
launch Chandrayaan –2 hoping for further scientific research
in 2012.
 The first edition has bright us tremendous joy and is a matter
of pride for an entire nation.
 The second edition will add to that happiness and pride.
 CONCLUSION

The success of Chandrayaan-1, India’s

indigenously developed mission to the moon,
is one that stands high in the our list of
achievements. Hopefully, it will be one that
signals radical change in the manner in which
India is perceived internationally.
 CURRENT REPORT

Chandrayaan-1 mission has been terminated, about one

year before the expected end. ISRO failed to restore
the communication link with the spacecraft. It is due to
the malfunction in the computers on-board the
spacecraft. But G. Madhavan Nair putted up a brave
face to say “the mission was a great success and 95%
of its objective was completed including 70,000
images of the Moon”.

IT IS A GREAT SUCCESS
