If things go as planned, India's unmanned moon spacecraft -- Chandrayaan-1 -- embarks on a two-year mission tomorrow seeking to throw more light on earth's only natural satellite.
The event would mark India's entry into select band of lunar explorers -- the European Space Agency (ESA), Japan, China, the US and Russia which have undertaken moon missions.
The lift-off is slated around 0620 hours on board indigenously-built rocket, PSLV-C11, from the spaceport of Sriharikota on the east coast in Andhra Pradesh, some 100 km north of Chennai.
