ISRO's Chandrayaan 2 is a successor to chandrayaan 1 mission of India. The primary objectives of Chandrayaan 2 are to demonstrate the ability to soft-land on the lunar surface and operate a robotic rover on the surface. Scientific goals include studies of lunar topography, mineralogy, elemental abundance, the lunar exosphere, and signatures of hydroxyl and water ice. The orbiter will map the lunar surface and help to prepare 3D maps of it. The on board radar will also map the surface while studying the water ice in the south polar region and thickness of the lunar regolith on the surface. Chandrayaan 2 will inform the location and abundance of lunar water for exploitation by the future lunar base proposed by the Artemis program.
