India’s Moon mission Chandrayaan-2 was quite a feat.

However, it was a disappointment when India’s Moon mission to the unexplored south polar region of Earth’s natural satellite was called off due to a technical snag.

Chandrayaan-2 was supposed to launch early morning on July 15, but a technical glitch forced the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) to call off the launch. Later, it was launched on July 22.

Now that the six-wheeled Pragyaan rover and Vikram lander are finally on their way to the Moon, Indian Space Research Organisation is looking for a name to stamp on the Moon after India’s lunar mission lands on the Moon successfully in September, 2019.

“We are looking to name the location Vikram lands at. We are selecting a name, we still have time for that,” Isro chairman K Sivan told TOI.

“There is shortlist of names. We are in the process, we will pick a name,” TOI quoted K Sivan as saying.Read More..
