CHANDRAYAAN-2 MISSION SCENARIO GSLV (Mk-II) will place an orbital flight vehicle (similar to Chandrayaan-1), carrying a soft landing system up to Lunar Transfer Trajectory (LTT). Orbiter & Lander-Rover will be maneuvered separately for lunar polar insertion. The landing system will be commanded for its controlled decent from polar orbit . Following landing, the motorized rover with scientific instruments and tools will be released on the lunar surface. Most comprehensive Geochemical and Geophysical Investigation of the Moon with more than a dozen payloads on Orbiter (5), Rover (2) and Lander
