Chandrayaan 1 serves as one of the best examples of the successful collaboration between various space research centres around the world. Six out of the eleven payloads were developed in association with the European Space Agency, NASA, and the space agencies of Bulgaria, Sweden and Germany. The other instruments were the result of the fruitful labour and technological expertise of Indian space scientists.
All the payloads were used to learn more about the composition of the Moon. They performed activities like monitoring the radiations on the lunar surface, searching for water ice, and different types of mappings including chemical mapping, surface mapping and magnetic field mapping.
