 "GSLVMk, chandrayaan 2, isro")
On July 15, 2019, Chandrayaan-2 will leave the Earth to begin its journey to the Moon, 3.84 lakh kilometres away. India's second moon mission is set to be the country's most ambitious scientific space expedition. The main objectives of Chandrayaan-2 are to demonstrate the ability to make a soft landing on the lunar surface and operate a robotic rover on the surface.
In 2008, India's maiden moon mission - Chandrayaan-1 was launched by Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). It was a significant step in space technology because Isro had thus far sent a satellite up to only around 36,000 km
