Chandrayaan 2:A Soft landing Mission to Moon • A minimum Soft Lander configuration requires 300 kg including Propellant. Operational duration 2 weeks. • With a rover the total mass is can be 400 kg New technologies related to NGC, TTC, landing gear, robotics, thermal management in Lunar environment etc need to be developed for this mission
