ISRO announces new moon mission

New Delhi: As Space Commission, the country's top policymaking body on space affairs, met against the backdrop of the Antrix-Devas spectrum controversy, a surprise announcement was made.

The commission has approved the proposal for a joint moon mission between ISRO and Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a premier American agency.

The mission called Moonrise is slated for launch in 2016 and now it's for NASA to take the final call on the proposal.

"NASA has sought a proposal for moonrise mission. Jet Propulsion laboratory is a pioneer in planetary exploration visiting Mars and Venus and if it seeks Indian partnership it is creditable," said K Radhakrishnan, Chairman, ISRO.
