India has launched its first moon mission. They are now a competitor in the newly developing asian space race. The space craft, Chandrayaan-1, is designed to study and map the moon. As of no we really do not have a complete picture of the moon and there are many things that we still do not know. One of the things that Chandrayaan-1 is going to do is to map the moon in three dimensions and take high quality pictures of the surface. It is important that we have a good map of the moon if we are ever to continue maned missions to the moon, or maybe even colonise the moon someday.
