India’s lunar probe set to land on moon

It’s slightly smaller than your TV cabinet and weighs a bit more than your school-going kid. But it’s going where no TV and no kid has ever been before.It’s called the Moon Impact Probe (MIP) — India’s first attempt at touching down on the lunar surface.

The MIP will detach from the Chandrayaan a 100 km above the moon. As it falls, it will keep sending information back to the satellite.

Closer to the surface, rockets will be fired, to slow down its speed and soften impact. After half an hour of free fall, the MIP will crash-land on the south pole of moon.

It was former president APJ Abdul Kalam who thought of sending MIP to the moon. If it weren’t for him, Chandrayaan would only have orbited the moon.
