updates on india’s moon mission
India’s first unmanned spacecraft will carry three European payloads on its journey to the moon, scheduled for 2007, to be used in experiments on the lunar surface, the head of the country’s space programme said Monday.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) signed a memorandum of understanding with the European Space Agency Monday to carry the additional payloads aboard India’s Chandrayan-1 spacecraft, ISRO chairman G. Madhavan Nair told reporters.
The payloads will include instruments such as an X-ray detector, a particle detector and a multi-spectral imager.
ISRO is also in talks with the US National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) to carry a miniature-imaging instrument to detect water ice in cold traps on the lunar poles up to a depth of a few metres, Nair said.
“We have the capabilities to develop and manage a mission that would orbit the moon and enable a series of observations, and measurements using specific instruments,” he said.
The 590-kilogram Chandrayan-1 is expected to map the lunar terrain for minerals and conduct scientific experiments

Re: NASA suspends all future flights!!!!!!!!
Wait.. "suspend all future flights"? That's only until they fix the problem.. They can only hold back for some time -not forever.
Re: NASA suspends all future flights!!!
Yeah, I really wanna see the outcome of their mission. It’s a tossup for ISRO.
