The ISRO proposed to undertake the country's first manned moon mission by 2020 following the success of Chandrayaan-I, project director of Chandrayaan-I M Annadurai has said. The successful launch of Chandrayaan-I in October last year has given Space scientists the confidence to undertake manned mission to moon, Annadurai told reporters in Salem on Sunday (11th January) .
The Chandrayaan-II mission is expected to be undertaken within a couple of years followed by Chandrayaan-III, he said. The Chandrayaan-I mission has been sending considerable amount of data and scientists are busy analyzing it, he said.
Several countries have approached India to set up a common lunar research centre for conducting various studies, the director added.
