Some interesting facts about #Chandrayaan2
1. Flight profile is very similar to Israel's #Beresheet: Start with a very high GTO (geostationary transfer orbit) then spend the next month raising the apogee until it turns into a lunar transfer orbit.

5. This mission is a great technology demonstrator, following a successful (if unfortunate) ASAT (anti-satellite) test, it will place India as a space super-power, capable to creating complex satellites and rovers.

All in all, this is a very interesting mission and I'm certainly going to keep a close eye on it. The landing attempt is scheduled for Sept. 7th so I'll see you then,
