| Chandrayaan-2: Success in India's second attempt at launching moon mission | Writer | Admin | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
India has successfully launched a mission to soft land a rover on the moon, in a landmark moment for a nation trying to become a space superpower. The country's latest lunar mission, Chandrayaan-2, which means "moon vehicle" in Sanskrit, took off from the Satish Dhawan Space Center at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh state at 2:43 p.m., Monday local time (5:13 a.m. ET). The launch was originally scheduled for July 15, but was abruptly called off just 56 minutes before liftoff due to a "technical snag." India is now on the way to becoming the fourth country -- in addition to United States, China and the former Soviet Union -- to make a soft landing on the lunar surface. |
