Chandrayaan-I:India's Very Own Moon Mission

Chandrayaan, India's first moon mission is all set for launch in February next year. It is one of our Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam's visions. With successful launch of our satellite INSAT-4CR by Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F04), Chandrayaan project has gained momentum and gained lot of foreign participation and attention. This is the first time various agencies including National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European Space Agency (ESA) work under a project headed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).The primary objective of the Chandrayaan-I mission is high resolution remote sensing of the moon in visible, near infrared, low energy X-rays and high energy X-ray regions.
So, what does this mean for a developing country like ours? What information is this craft going to provide which its predecessors like 'The Ranger' haven’t? What is the effort that is going into it?
Official Video about the lunar mission had been released. The video gives lot of information about the mission objectives, how the lunar craft is going to be launched, the trajectory it is going to follow before placing it in the orbit and the data we are going to get about the moon from the payloads on board. This is a nice video. Watch it!
