If all goes according to plan for Chandrayaan-2, its lander Vikram will soft-land in the South Pole Aitken basin, a site of ancient lava flows caused by an asteroid impact that excavated material from its mantle, this September. The lander will then allow the Pragyan rover across a ramp and the rover will move, very slowly, at 1 cm per second, eventually to 500 m. Powered by solar panels, both will have an expected mission life of about 14 earth days, by which time the experiments are expected to be terminated
