Chennai: When India's first unmanned lunar spacecraft Chandrayaan-I takes off in April from the shores of Sriharikota, in Andhra Pradesh, it will carry a payload that includes two critical NASA instruments to map the moon. The NASA payloads will be a miniature synthetic aperture radar to map ice deposits in the moon's surface and a moon mineralogy mapper to assess its mineral resources. It will be the first time US instruments are included aboard an Indian space vehicle and such a joint technological initiative between the two countries, a US-India Business Council statement said here.
