Chandrayaan-1 India's First lunar mission may be launched on Oct 19 By Arulprakash Ravindran of smartpixels.net I am so excited being a avid follower of space programs around the world I have immense interest in space technology, thanks to ISRO now I can talk proudly to my friends across the world about India's MIssion to Moon. India will be among select countries which has even thought of landing a probe or sending a satellite to moon!! Weather permitting, India's maiden moon mission, Chandrayaan-1, may lift off on October 19 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, scientists associated with the odyssey indicated on Thursday. "The tentative date is October 19," they said in Bangalore after completing all the work on the cuboid-shaped 590 kg spacecraft that will carry 11 payloads.Chandrayaan-1 will be launched by indigenous Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and will carry payloads of six foreign countries - the US, Britain, Germany, Sweden and Bulgaria - apart from those of India. Scientists said that the Chadrayaan-1 spacecraft would be shipped later this month, most likely on September 30, to the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota for the launch.
