Chandrayaan-2 mission: Rover to spend 14 days on moon's surface, says Isro chief

Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is leaving no stone unturned to make the Chandrayaan-2 mission a success. Unlike the first lunar mission when a PSLV rocket carried the spacecraft to the moon’s orbit, this time heavy-payload lifter GSLV Mk II will launch the spacecraft weighing 3,290kg as the module will carry an orbiter, a rover and a lander to the moon.
