ISRO unveiled the spacecraft at Bengaluru's ISRO Satellite Integration and Test Establishment, today. According to officials in Bengaluru, these components will be moved out of Bengaluru to Sriharikota by June 20. The mission will have 13 payloads and one passive experiment from the American space agency NASA.
The 3.8-tonne spacecraft has three components – an Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) and Rover (Pragyan). ISRO has finished the final phase of the project where the integration of the components was undertaken. The moon landing is scheduled for September 6. Initially, the Orbiter will orbit 100 km from the lunar surface, following which the Lander (Vikram) will do the soft landing near the south pole of the moon, and the Rover (Pragyan) will be operationalized to initiate the experiment.
