Chandrayaan 2 set to record history, will land on moon at 1:55 am| Fatafat

Former NASA astronaut Jerry M Linenger on Thursday said that landing Chandrayaan-2 on the south pole of the moon is a milestone for the entire world and not just India.
"The south pole of the moon is a fantastic region to explore. That is why the entire planet will benefit from the mission. This is not just a milestone for India but the entire world," Linenger told.
The former NASA astronaut is in the country to promote a special program on India's space mission Chandrayaan-2, featuring him as space analyst.
"India is about to land Chandrayaan 2 on the south pole of the moon. There are great challenges since no one has ever been there before but the Vikram lander onboard the spacecraft is also very capable," Linenger said.
He said that the most important task for the mission will be to explore whether there is water on the natural satellite.
"The Chandrayaan-2 has already carried out some of the difficult tasks like de-orbiting but landing on the surface of the moon will be the toughest part.
