Hint:Chandrayaan I was independent to survey the lunar surface over a two years period to produce a complete map of chemical composition at the surface and three-dimensional topography. Among its achievements was the discovery of widespread presence of water molecules in lunar soil.

Complete answer:
Let us discuss Indian Space Research Organisation. Indian Space Research Organisation is a national space agency of India. It's headquarter lies in Bangalore. It operates under the department of science which is directly under the control of the prime minister of India. It is a primary agency in India to perform tasks related to space, space application,space exploration and other related Technologies. It is one of the six government space agencies in the world.
