The moon impact probe on Chandrayaan-1
A unique, stand alone micro satellite called the Moon impact pobe (MIP), designed to impact at a predecided location near the South Pole of the moon was a part of the Chandrayaan-1 mission. The MIP has two technology and one scientific experiments, viz. a Moon Imaging System (MIS) for surface photog...
