Did he give any instructions? Kalam sir was happy. He was the President during that period. After looking at our projects, he said we are carrying so many instruments but we are not ensuring that the Indian flag is placed on the moon. We came to know that he wanted us to land on the moon during Chandrayaan 1 itself.

It was a very tough job and I explained the difficulties to him. He agreed and asked us to keep trying. Why did we decide to carry a small probe along with Chandrayaan 1? After speaking to Kalam sir, we made decided to carry a small probe weighing 35 kg with our national flag along with Chandrayaan 1 to the moon and then have it land on the moon.

As planned, we succeeded in this mission. Above all, we did not drop any of the 12 instruments which were being carried. We won an international award for this concept. Can you tell us a bit about the discovery of water on the moon? Is it on the surface only or in the subsurface too? One of the Indian instruments fitted in Chandryaan 1 discovered water on the moon.

Water availability under the subsurface was discovered by an American instrument fitted in Chandrayaan 1. This mission confirmed water presence not only on the surface of the moon but also in the exosphere and on the subsurface of the moon. What about Chandrayaan 2?

How did it begin? The Chandrayaan 1 mission involved many countries, but not Russia. Hence, we had an agreement with Russia to collaborate on Chandrayaan 2, which would be a landing mission along with the orbiter. The main idea behind carrying the lander was that if it fails, we will be having an orbiter to ensure the mission is not a total failure.

Was the design of the lander sent to the moon in Chandrayaan 2 changed? You can find out more by clicking this link. News India.
