No more glitches: ISRO Chairman K Sivan

Sriharikota: The Chandrayaan-2 mission that was aborted last week, will not face any more glitches as all faults have been rectified and tests carried out, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman K Sivan said.

"When the technical fault happened, we stopped the countdown. Identified the issue and rectified it. After rectifying it, we have run many tests.

There is no chance for any technical fault to arise now," he added The mission will see 15 "very crucial" manoeuvres over a period of 45 days to place Chandrayaan-2 in the Moon's orbit.

"In the last 15 minutes, the mission will hover around the South Pole of the Moon and the Rover (Pragyaan) will descend on to its surface," Sivan said.
