The Moon Impact Probe launched by Chandrayaan-1 lands on the moon, plants the Tricolour and starts sending images.

India successfully puts its first unmanned spacecraft Chandrayaan-I into lunar orbit.

Astronaut Sunita Williams says she is all excited about the launch of Chandrayaan-I and wishes to be part of India’s next manned moon mission.

After the successful launch of the Chandrayaan-I in the Transit Orbit, the next big challenge for the spacecraft would be when it enters the Lunar Orbit in the next 4-5 days.

In an exclusive interview, the first Indian in space, Rakesh Sharma, tells Headlines Today that there is a need to find another habitation other than the Earth.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will carry the Chandrayan on an unmanned flight to the moon on November 22. The vehicle will be launched from Sriharikota off the Bay of Bengal.
