This sounds promising in the fact that it is supposed to map the moon in HD as well as have a capability to "see" right below the surface. Another promising thing is that they are NOT NASA!

...Maybe we can finally get a clear picture of those lunar artifacts (spires, glass domes, structures, and other anomalies) previously discussed on ATS!

This we hoped for with China's Chang-e 1...

This we hoped for with Japan's Selene/Kayuga

Now it is India's turn...


You say they are NOT NASA?
Maybe the early launch date was postponed so that they could finish this agreement in Feb 2008?
