Welcome to the club, India!

My only note is that you might want to get a bit more creative when choosing a name (Chandrayaan means “moon craft” or “moon vehicle” in Sanskrit).

So sounds like... a good name?

I mean USA names it after moon god, Russia just calls it moon so its as creative as the rest

It's really no less inventive than Apollo.
