Daily Current Affairs Article 27th December 2020: The Indian Space Research Organisation has released the first set of data from the country’s second mission to the Moon, the Chandrayaan-2, for the general public.

The Orbiter, which was injected into a lunar orbit on September 2, 2019, carried eight experiments/payloads, all of which have been performing well and sending data received.

The public release data archived at the Indian Space Science Data Center (ISSDC) in Byalalu, near Bengaluru is prepared in the standard, globally followed planetary data system-4 (PDS4) format for public release.

The set released recently is basic data — what ISRO calls Level-0 and Level-1 datasets — prepared using PDS4 standards. The ISSDC is the nodal center of planetary data archive for planetary missions of ISRO.
