- Chandrayan Mission is planned for the year 2007. This mission will put a 525 kg satellite orbiting around the moon at an altitude of 100 KM above the moon. This satellite will help in remote sensing the moon. Purpose is to investigate the terrain of the moon. It is a cost effective proposition because the space craft technology is already available and also the launch capability is available with us. Transportation of Helium is not planned at present.
