The spacecraft undergoes crucial tests

September 18, 2008
The mission aims to cover the entire moon and gather as much information as possible.

Currently, Chandrayan is going through crucial tests in Bengaluru. It still has to undergo the vibration and acoustic tests.

The spacecraft will be subject to heavy vibration first and then the sound of four jet planes will be put together to check its endurance.
