According to Times of India, the mission is scheduled to lift off around 28 December 2017. The launch will be a part of the global lunar competition, Google Lunar X Prize. The competition offers a total of $30 million in prizes to the first privately funded teams to land a robot on the Moon that successfully travels more than 500 meters (1,640 ft) and transmits back high-definition images and video.
