India is going to launch Chandrayaan-2 in April. It is under Chandrayaan-1 mission that the Isro spotted water on the moon. Chandrayaan-2 is a further extension of the project and it is as good as landing a man on the moon.

India's second Moon mission Chandrayaan-2 has been postponed to April from its earlier March launch, announced Jitendra Singh who heads the Department of Space.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on the successful launch of the 100th satellite.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its 100th satellite on January 12 (Friday). India successfully launched a polar rocket with 31 satellites, including three Indian and 28 of six other nations from its spaceport at Sriharikota.

India's first space start-up - TeamIndus - has unfortunately dropped out of global race for the Google Lunar X prize due to lack of funds. The private company had hoped to reach moon by December 31 this year.

India will launch 31 satellites, including earth observation spacecraft Cartosat, on January 12 instead of its earlier tentative schedule on January 10, a space official said on Monday.

India will launch 31 satellites, including the earth observation spacecraft Cartosat on January 10, from its spaceport at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, said a space official on Saturday.

The approval for Aditya L1 solar mission has come and the satellite will be launched during 2019 – 2020 timeframe by PSLV-XL from Sriharikota, ISRO mentioned on its website.

India is all set to create history by joining the list of landers on Moon with its most ambitious Chandrayaan II project. This will be the first time when India will be making an attempt to land on the surface of the Moon.

The next launch will be keenly watched as it comes after ISRO's PSLV rocket failed to deploy a spare navigation satellite on August 31. The rocket's heat shield had failed to separate leaving the satellite inside the shield.
