Answer:
Chandrayaan 1 was the first Indian lunar probe under Chandrayaan program. Its name means Moon Vehicle 1 (Chandra means Moon and Yaan means Vehicle so Moon Vehicle 1). It was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008, and operated until August 2009. The mission included a lunar orbiter and an impactor. India launched the spacecraft using a PSLV-XL rocket on 22 October 2008 at 00:52 UTC from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, at Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The mission was a major boost to India's space program,as India researched and developed its own technology in order to explore the Moon. The vehicle was inserted into lunar orbit on 8 November 2008.
On 14 November 2008, the Moon Impact Probe separated from the Chandrayaan orbiter at 14:36 UTC and struck the south pole in a controlled manner, making India the fourth country to place its flag insignia on the Moon. The probe hit near the crater Shackleton at 15:01 UTC, ejecting sub-surface soil that could be analysed for the presence of lunar water ice. The location of impact was named Jawahar Point.
The estimated cost for the project was ₹386 crore (US$54 million).
It was intended to survey the lunar surface over a two-year period, to produce a complete map of the chemical composition at the surface and three-dimensional topography. The polar regions are of special interest as they might contain water ice. Among its many achievements was the discovery of widespread presence of water molecules in lunar soil.
After almost a year, the orbiter started suffering from several technical issues including failure of the star tracker and poor thermal shielding.
Its team consisted:
G. Madhavan Nair – Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation
T. K. Alex – Director, ISAC (ISRO Satellite Centre)
Mylswamy Annadurai – Project Director, Chandrayan-1
S. K. Shivkumar – Director – Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network
M. Pitchaimani – Operations Director, Chandrayan-1
Leo Jackson John – Spacecraft Operations Manager, Chandrayan-1
K. Radhakrishnan – Director, VSSC
George Koshy – Mission Director, PSLV-C11
Srinivasa Hegde – Mission Director, Chandrayaan-1
Jitendra Nath Goswami – Director of Physical Research Laboratory and Principal Scientific Investigator of Chandrayaan-1
Madhavan Chandradathan – Head, Launch Authorization Board, Chandrayan-1
