| Apart from the above indigenous payloads/experiments, ISRO solicited proposals through an Announcement of Opportunity (AO) from International and Indian Scientific Community for participating in the mission by providing suitable scientific payloads complementing the Chandrayaan-1 objectives. Out of the proposals received, six experiments were finally selected for inclusion in Chandrayaan-1 mission. The AO payloads on-board Chandrayaan-1 are: |
|
 |
|
|
| C1XS |
| Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Spectrometer (C1XS) through ESA -a collaboration between Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK and ISRO Satellite Centre, ISRO. Part of this payload is redesigned by ISRO to suit Chandrayaan-1 scientific objectives. |
