I only wonder who gets the credit now: India/ISRO or NASA because the Radar was supplied by NASA.

Data from Chandrayaan moon mission to go public.

----------
And some Chandrayaan-2 news from the past week:

ISRO: "Payloads for Chandrayaan-2 Mission Finalised".

Aviation Week: "Russia To Test Chandrayaan-2 Lander Next Year".

Chandrayaan-2 to get closer to moon.

'We're launching Chandrayaan-2 for a total coverage of the moon'.

Chandrayaan-2 will try out new ideas, technologies: ISRO.
