		Chandrayan 1 will carry five Indian instruments to moon, along with two US payloads, three instruments from the European Space Agency (ESA) and one from Bulgaria.
		Besides the MoU on Chandrayan 1, the two space agencies are expected to have wide-ranging discussions on cooperation in various sectors.
		A joint working group (JWG) between the two nations is already in place to explore the potential and possibility of cooperation in earth observation, satellite communication, satellite navigation and its applications, space science, natural hazards research and disaster management support, besides education and training in space.

	Moon mission to cost Rs 400 crore
		The mission, including the launch of the lunar vehicle Chandrayan I in 2008, envisages an investment of around Rs 400 crore (Rs 4,000 million) over a five-year period.
		Chandrayan I is proposed to be a 1.5-metre cuboid satellite with a launch speed of 10 km per second into an earthly orbit for a 350,000 kilometre journey in five and a half days.
		In the Budget estimates for 2004-05, the government has also allocated Rs 490 crore (Rs 4,900 million), against Rs 250 crore (Rs 2,500 million) for this fiscal, for GSLV Mk-III development which is a launch vehicle capable to launching 4 tonne class of communication satellites.

	Chandrayan to explore resources on Moon
		Indian Space Research Organisation’s ambitious project ‘Chandrayan’ is not a project aimed at just landing an Indian on the moon but to explore the vast mineral resources and ambundant energy potential the earth’s natural satellite had to offer, ISRO Satellite Centre Director K N Shankara has said.
		He said the planetary mission launched by the country would explore the mineral wealth and energy sources, like Helium-3, which had the potential of solving future energy demands of the world.
		Dr Shankara said the Chandrayan-I would see the Indian satellite orbiting 100 km above the moon and its terrain mapping stereo camera, with a high resolution of ten metres, explore the surface of the moon.

	Impacter to pan moon for water traces as Chandrayan unfolds
		Without continued innovations and follow-ups, Chandrayan-I cannot be fruitful enough by itself, according to ISRO chairman G Madhavan Nair.
		Just as Chandrayan is for lunar studies, Astrosat is for spectral and imaging studies of celestial bodies from space and Megha Trophics for climatic studies, especially in the tropical belt, he explained.
		Later, he said that the ‘Impactor’ would be the part that would leave the vehicle and stay on panning the surface of the moon for traces of helium and water.
