Chandrayaan-2 is India's second lunar mission, launched on July 22, 2019, by GSLV-MkIII-M1 from Satish Dhawan Space Center. The mission aims to improve our understanding of the Moon's topography and atmosphere, and consists of an orbiter, a lander (Vikram), and a rover (Pragyan). The rover will conduct mineral and chemical compositions tests and collect data on the South Pole. The mission faced a technical issue during fuel loading, causing a launch delay. The GSLV Mk-III rocket, the most powerful launcher used by ISRO, was chosen to launch the spacecraft. The mission details include a 1-year orbital mission, a 15-day rover mission, and a landing window between September 6 and 7.
