When is Chandrayaan-1 launch? This is the question everyone is asking! First ISRO declared 9th april as chandrayaan launch date. Then it got delayed. Reason? To prepare the integration work. Now ISRO chief Nair, stated that chandrayaan launch will be in September. Though the date is not fixed but speculation is that it might be on September 19th!


So the whole world is waiting for chandrayaan launch! Its india's first mission to the moon. In fact its first isro mission that will take something so far from earth.
I have been following mission since the time i knew about it and here are some links that will help you understand this mission better.
