Sivan said following the successful launch of the radar imaging earth observation satellite, RISAT-2B, on-board PSLV-C46 Wednesday, the next one- Chandrayaan-2 -is going to be a landmark mission for India.
“It is going to be the most complex mission ever undertaken by ISRO. It is going to take place between July 9 and 16, this year”, he said, addressing scientists from the Mission Control Centre.
