The much awaited space mission Chandrayaan-2, is scheduled to launch between July 9 and July 16 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. It is likely to take 35 to 45 days to reach the moon after the launch.

The 3,800-kg spacecraft includes an orbiter which will circle the moon at 100 km; Vikram, which is a five-legged lander, that is designed to descend on the moon; and a robotic rover, Pragyan, that will explore the lunar terrain around it.
