Detailed explanation-1: -Chandrayaan-2 mission is a highly complex mission, which represents a significant technological leap compared to the previous missions of ISRO. It comprised an Orbiter, Lander and Rover to explore the unexplored South Pole of the Moon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The failure of Chandrayaan-2, India’s second mission to the Moon, to make a soft-landing on the lunar surface had led to much disappointment. The lander and rover malfunctioned in the final moments and crash-landed, getting destroyed in the process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chandrayaan-2 is an Indian mission to send an orbiter, lander, and rover to the Moon. The lander crashed in the Moon’s southern hemisphere in 2019. The orbiter is mapping the Moon’s topography, investigating the surface’s mineralogy and elements, studying the lunar exosphere, and looking for signatures of water ice.
Detailed explanation-4: -The major discovery of the Chandrayaan-1 mission is the detection of water (H2O) and hydroxyl (OH) on the lunar surface. The data also revealed their enhanced abundance towards the polar region.
