Chandrayaan-2 consists of an Orbiter, Lander and Rover, all equipped
with scientific instruments to study the moon.
The Orbiter will once
again orbit from 100 km away, while the Lander and Rover modules will
separate and make a soft-landing on the surface.
ISRO has named the
Lander module Vikram, after Vikram Sarabhai, and the Rover module
Pragyaan, meaning wisdom.
