Chandrayaan-2 is India's planned second mission to the moon, which was launched on 22 July 2019. It is a follow-up mission from the Chandrayaan-1 mission that assisted in confirming the presence of water/hydroxyl or frozen water on the moon in 2009. Chandrayaan-2 was launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India with a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) rocket.


After the launch, a module separated from the launching vehicle at the earth's orbit. And through the method of orbital maneuver, the module after many orbits finally reached the orbit around the moon on 20 August 2019. Then the module initiated lunar orbit maneuvering.                                                                  Then then the Vikram(the lander) was separated from the orbiter at the orbit of the Moon and reoriented the orbit. Then the orbiter scanned the lunar surface. And the Vikram scanned the landing site and initiated the deboosting procedures and was about to do soft landing but due to some problem, the lander's trajectory began to deviate at about 2.1 kilometers above the surface of Moon and finally the signals from the lander was lost. According to the MIT technology review is "quite fast for lunar landing."According to initial updates of ISRO the lander was found and estimated as a crash or hard landing. And this happened on 7 September 2019.
