ISRO will be collaborating with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California for a probable lunar mission to get soil samples.
The joint mission which is at the planning stage, according to Dr Radhakrishnan Nair, Chairman, ISRO, will see the latter using its communications expertise to connect the lunar orbiter with the instrument that will collect soil samples from the moon.
India will gain access to some of the soil sample as part of the arrangement. Dr Nair said that the mission is one of three likely to be undertaken by NASA in 2016.
