Chandrayaan-1, India's lunar probe, is designed to generate chemical and minerological maps of the lunar surface.

The probe contains eleven scientific packages, six from India, and five from its international partners in the mission

• Terrain Mapping Camera (India)
• High Energy X-ray spectometer (India)
• Miniature Synthetic Aperture Radar (NASA)
