GSLV MkIII M1 launch vehicle which will carry Chandrayaan 2 has already been moved to the launch pad as of now. It is the heaviest launch vehicle built by ISRO so far. “Chandrayaan 2 is the next leap in technology as we attempt to soft land close to South Pole of moon. The soft landing is extremely complex and we will experience approximately 15 minutes of terror,” says Dr K Sivan, Chairmain of ISRO, in the curtain raiser video. If successful, ISRO Chandrayaan 2 will be the first mission to land a rover near the lunar south pole. India will become only the fourth country to achieve this feat after US, USSR and China. The soft landing is expected to happen on 6 September 2019.
