ISRO planning to land Chandrayaan-2 near Moon's south pole
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to send the Chandrayaan-2 on the world's first-ever mission to soft-land near the Moon's south pole. Former ISRO chief AS Kiran Kumar said the mission could take place either in the first quarter or second half of 2018. The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II will reportedly carry the Chandrayaan-2.
