#CHANDRAYAAN-2

Dear Younger Me,

I hope you are doing well. Today I want to share some thrilling news about our country's new landmark soon to be set on the moon's surface.

I am well known to your interest in celestial bodies and outer space. Whether its constellation sightseeing or special celestial events. The zeal that you have for learning something new about the universe and unknown galaxies I have lived and enjoyed the most.

You must be knowing about the  ‘Chandrayaan -1', lunar probe by ISRO  that took the flight in the year 2008, with the mission of high resolution of mineralogy, chemical imaging and searching water especially. With the successful expedition of 312 revolutions around the moon, India became the first country to discover water source on it, giving the high hopes of future human settlement.

You will be glad to know that on 22 July 2019, India launched its second lunar probe ‘Chandrayaan-2' under ISRO. With the successful landing suspected to be in September,  India will become the first nation to land on the south pole of the moon, and fourth nation to touch the moon's surface.

It was launched from Satish Dhawan space centre, Sriharikota of Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh.  This mission aims for discovering ice craters on the southern lunar pole in the form of the water source, as there are great chances of having crater being hidden from direct sunlight rays. This mission also aims for the discovery of mineralogy, setting up possibilities of base camp mapping and launchpad. Apart from it, the probe will also check the occurrence of the earthquake on the moon's surface.

This mission was made under make-in India project.

You will be glad to know about the women's major contribution in the project, headed under  Project Director Ms Muthaya Vanitha and Mission Director Ms Ritu Karidhal and the number of other women and the team's enduring efforts to make India reach the place where once it has dreamt of.

At last, bidding you goodbye this proud Indian wants to aspire you for becoming a responsible and proud citizen of the country ‘INDIA'. And feel the zeal as your future self is experiencing.

Yours Lovingly,
Your Future Self❤
