About Chandrayaan-2-Complete Information and GK Questions

• Chandrayaan-2 consists of a lunar orbiter, a lander, and a lunar rover named Pragyan, all developed in India The main scientific objective is to map the location and abundance of lunar water.

• The lander and the rover will land near the lunar south pole region in a high plain between two craters, Manzinus C and Simpelius N, at a latitude of about 70° south on 7 September 2019. 

• The wheeled Pragyan rover will move on the lunar surface and will perform on-site chemical analysis for a period of 14 days (one lunar day).

• It can relay data to Earth through the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter and lander, which were launched together on the same rocket. The orbiter will perform its mission for one year in a circularized lunar polar orbit of 100 × 100 km.

Chandrayaan-2-Objectives

• Demonstrate the ability to soft-land on the lunar surface and operate a robotic rover on the surface. 
• Scientific goals include studies of lunar topography, mineralogy, elemental abundance, the lunar exosphere, and signatures of hydroxyl and water ice.
•  The orbiter will map the lunar surface and help to prepare 3D maps of it. The onboard radar will also map the surface while studying the water ice in the south polar region and thickness of the lunar regolith on the surface.
• Chandrayaan-2 will inform the location and abundance of lunar water for exploitation by the future lunar base proposed by the Artemis program.
