 Chandrayaan-2 mission involving a lander, a rover and an orbiter and whose launch is scheduled between July 9 and July 16 will carry 14 payloads. These payloads or experimental modules will be used to perform scientific tests and take images of the moon when the spacecraft reaches the lunar orbit and subsequently the lunar surface. While the orbiter will carry eight payloads, the lander called Vikram will have four and the rover named Pragyan, which will roll out on the moon's surface, will have two payloads.
Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft, whose mass will be 3.8 tonne, is expected to land on the moon on September 6, an update in Isro website says. Unlike last time when Chandrayaan-1 mission, launched in 2008, carried five foreign payloads (three from Europe and two from the US), the Rs 800 crore second mission will carry only Indian payloads.
The orbiter and lander modules will be stacked as an integrated module and accommodated inside an advanced GSLV MK-III launch vehicle. The rover will be housed inside the lander. After the launch from Sriharikota into the earth-bound orbit by  *GSLV MK-III* b July 9 and 16, the integrated module will reach the moon orbit using an orbiter propulsion module. After a journey from the earth to the moon in 45-50 days, the module will arrive in the lunar orbit, around 100 km from the moon's surface.
Once Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft reaches the lunar orbit, Vikram will separate from the orbiter and soft-land at the predetermined site close to the south pole, which had not been explored by other countries.
Talking to TOI earlier, Isro chairman K Sivan said, “Once Vikram lands on the lunar surface on September 6, rover Prayan will come out of it and roll out on the lunar surface for 300-400 metre. It will spend 14 earth days on the moon for carrying out different scientific experiments.” The rover will analyse the content of the lunar surface and send data and images back to the Earth through the orbiter within 15 minutes, he said.
