Chandrayaan 2 was a highly complex mission. It aimed to explore the lunar exosphere, lunar surface and the sub-surface in a single mission with special focus on the lunar South Pole. Also, it was the first mission that aimed at soft landing on the lunar South Pole.
The lunar South Pole remains in shadows for much longer time than the lunar North Pole. Therefore, there is a possibility of presence of water in these permanently shadowed areas. Chandrayaan 2 contained India’s first lunar rover made out of home-grown technology. Though Chandrayaan 2 was faced with many challenges, it succeeded in proving India’s technological advancement.
