Chandrayaan-2 was launched onboard GSLV MkIII-M1 on July 22, 2019 from Sriharikota.

The landing of Vikram lander on the lunar surface was attempted on September 7th 2019.

The precise launch and mission management has ensured a long life of almost 7 years instead of the planned one year.

One of the payloads on Chandrayaan-2 orbiter is the Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) with a spatial resolution of 25cm from a 100 km orbit.It provides the sharpest images ever, from a lunar orbital platform.

Chandrayaan-2 payload data is made available to public through PRADAN portal hosted by Indian Space Science Data Centre (ISSDC).It can be accessed from https://pradan.issdc.gov.in. website.

Sarabhai is a circular bowl shaped crater on Mare Serenitatis in the north east of Moon. The crater co-ordinates are 24.74N, 21.00E.This crater is named after Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, father of Indian Space program. Chandrayaan-2 imaged this crater on 30th July 2020.

Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 with Lander and rover configuration. It will attempt safe and soft-landing on the southern high latitudes on the Moon.
