say that they have put the launch of the chandrayaan 2 on hold due to technical issues the country was just minutes away from launching its 1st moon landing mission and the ambitious chandrayaan to include a robot rover that will explore the lunar surface close to the moon south pole if all goes to plan it will be the 1st mission to land in that region. that i am to india's most challenging mission so far a highly complex undertaking. the spacecraft should reach its destination at the beginning of august when it enters an elliptical orbit of the moon. then it will approach the lunar surface. where the landing robot vic separates from the craft the most exciting phase begins india's 1st soft landing on the moon.

the selected landing site is about 600 kilometers from the lunar south pole a region of craters that has literally been on the dark side of the moon for billions of years the blue markings here show where satellites have spotted frozen ice in creators given the high plateau the landing robot should touch down gently amid rock that is older than anything on earth. after landing the crown will open its doors and release india's 1st lunar rover on to the surface. small as a briefcase it can cover up to $500.00 metres. with its 2 instruments the rover will measure water bearing minerals in the lunar rock as well as the concentration of elements such as aluminum silicone and titanium. meanwhile the landing

robot will record moonquakes and explore so-called lunar plasma a thin layer of electrically charged particles above the surface. and the rover will be able to collect data for 14 days then it will be dark for 14 days that's when the temperature drops to $160.00 degrees. 0 celsius. the orbiter will spend a year gathering data about the moon the objective is to fill in the gaps from india's previous mission it has 8 measuring instruments on board their function is to investigate the moon's thin atmosphere and show which minerals and chemical elements make up its surface. for the 1st time a special radar will be used to determine the location and quantity of frozen water . india's mission is the 1st to bring this type of instrument to the moon.

for more on india's mission to the moon i'm joined by the roscoe palace lami director of the south asia center at the atlantic council and an expert on the indian space program thank you so much for joining us the says very exciting and of course it's a major step forward for india's space program why were they so determined to get to the moon. well i don't i think it's not they were determined to get to the moon i. think it's essentially space exploration of all doesn't that go part of the indian space program and i was a part of that and or of their sort of are meant to do something new every year and this has been a systematic graduated increase advancement of the excursion program and that's why they're keen on getting to the heart of sending to scientific experiments. so a gradual expansion how does india space program measure up right now to the more well established programs of the u.s. or russia. well you know 1st of

a i don't like this comparison with the u.s. or russia for for the start because and as i said the graduated expansion because india space program started this merely as an application or into program the 1st phase of their programs included like the developing remote sensing technologies the communication technologies and to put these things in our but they invested heavily in the launch affecting one state leeched some kind of a self-sufficiency and that then they started expanding themselves into some parts of commercialization and others as a so exploration which is a scientific part of an integral part and my view of any space agency and i think that's where this one lies so where is the u.s. soviet union your space program started with a completely different trajectory where there was a huge amount of politics behind it the security angle behind it and as far as india is concerned security for their space program is a gene a relatively late entrant so i think that comparison

a little bit apples and oranges comparison temperature certainly so if this mission is a success what's next for the indian space program. you know. you know i think one of the intended goals is the man and a manned mission i think that could be some kind of an ultimate prize in terms of space exploration that south but i think it's what india's space program demonstrates for us on a broader scale that's something a country like india which in $1000.00 sixty's launched a space program and where many of the efficacy of the space program india's invested and shown reliably to the well that you know such a country can if we have a vision and you have the backing and you have the right mindset you could leave iraq into the technological development and i think that's a lesson that's a big leap for all of us to walk away from this absolutely vera swami director of the south asia center at the atlantic council thank you so much pleasure thank you . in tennis novak djokovic is the men's wimbledon champion after coming through an
