    ISROIndia's first unmanned lunar mission Chandrayaan I (Meaning LunarCraft) is scheduled to be launched on 22 October 2008 at 00:50 UTC by India's own Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.


    With the successful launch of this remote sensing satellite weighing
    1304 kg India will become the sixth country to send any type of lunar
    mission in space, Chandrayaan-1 will take approximately eight days to
    complete its nearly 3,86,000 km long journey for reaching into its
    final orbit 100 km from the moon, Chandrayaan-1 will carry a high
    resolution remote sensing equipment for visible, near infrared, soft
    and hard X-ray frequencies. Over a two-year period, it is intended to
    survey the lunar surface to produce a complete map of its chemical
    characteristics and 3-dimensional topography. The polar regions are of
    special interest, as they might contain water ice.
