Bengaluru, Sep 06 (ANI): Former ISRO scientist, S Nambi Narayanan said Chandrayaan 2 mission is all about soft landing on Moon surface. "If you compare Chandrayaan 1 with Chandrayaan2, the basic difference is that we will do a soft landing. The former was carried by PSLV and for the latter we have used GSLV Mk III, meaning we have more payload capability," he said. Chandrayaan-2 Vikram lander will make a soft landing on the surface of Moon in the early hours of Saturday (September 07). The Vikram lander is scheduled to make its soft landing between 1.30 am and 2.30 am.
