The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will launch Chandrayaan-I, India's maiden mission to the moon, in September.

In an interview on the sidelights of a seminar here on Thursday, the chairman of Isro, Mr G. Madhavan Nair, said that the final tests have been on to launch the spacecraft to moon.

The Chandrayaan-I will be launched atop a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), India's workhorse rocket with a streak of nine consecutive flawless missions.
