Chandrayaan-2 may orbit Moon for 2 years

The orbiter on Chandrayaan-2, which Isro initially said would go around the Moon for just one year, may now have a lifespan of at least two years. The orbiter was packed with 1,697kg of propellant at launch, and it has expended about 130kg for the two manoeuvres on July 24 and 26. As on Saturday, the orbiter had more than 1,500kg of propellant.
