India ready for its second moon mission: ISRO
A S Kiran, the Chief of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has announced that India is ready to conduct its second moon mission, Chandrayaan II. A completely indigenous mission, Chandrayaan II was earlier slated to launch in 2013, but was rescheduled to 2016 due to technical difficulties.
