In 2019, Chandrayaan-2 completed 95 percent of the mission, but in the year 2020, India will launch Chandrayaan-3 to touch the moon once again. This information was given by Union Minister Jitendra Singh, according to Singh, the cost of this mission will be less than Chandrayaan-2.
Union Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Jitendra Singh said that it would be wrong to say that the Chandrayaan-2 mission was unsuccessful as it was India’s first attempt and it has success rate of 95%. No country has succeeded in its first attempt.
