“The Chandrayaan-1 mission is an important step forward in U.S.-India space ties. Negotiations have taken place for two NASA instruments — a Miniature Synthetic Aperture Radar to map ice deposits in the Moon’s polar regions and a Moon Mineralogy Mapper to assess mineral resources of the Moon — to join India’s instruments in mutual exploration of the Moon. The Chandrayaan-1 mission will be a major advance for U.S./Indian civil space cooperation, as well as for the scientific activities critical to President Bush’s Vision for Space Exploration.”
