Chandrayan-2
Chandrayan-2 will be having a Moon Lander and a Rover planned to launch in 2011-12. The rover would move on wheels on the lunar surface, pick up samples of soil or rocks, do a chemical analysis and send the data to the spacecraft orbiting above. Russia's Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos) is joining with ISRO for development of Chandrayaan-2 Lander/Rover. The rover will weigh between 30 kg and 100 kg, depending on whether it is to do a semi-hard landing or soft landing. The rover will have an operating life-span of a month. It will run predominantly on solar power. The Moon mission will costs Rs 12,000 Crore.
In the final stage of the mission, India is planning to land humans on Moon.
