Chandrayaan-2 launch, which was called off due to a technical snag on July 1 5, 2019, has been finally launched successfully on Monday at 2:43 pm. Chandrayaan-2 was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota on-board GSLV Mk-III. Chandrayaan-2 is India's second Moon mission after Cha ndrayaan-1, which will be deployed on the far side of the lunar surface. Chandrayaan-2 has three elements including the Rover, the Lander and the Orbiter. As soon as the spacecraft will make a soft landing on the moon, the lander will separate from the Orbiter and then perform a series of complex manoeuvres comprising of tough braking and fine braking. The lander, named Vikram, will land near the Moon’s South Pole and then it will then carry out experiments on Lunar surface for 1 Lunar day. A single lunar day is equal to 14 Earth days. However. Orbiter will continue its mission for a duration of one year. The historic Chandrayaan-2 mission will target a completely unexplored section of the Moon that is, its “South Polar region - Aitken Basin”. By conducting topographical studies and mineralogical analyses alongside a few other experiments on the Moon’s Surface, the ISRO’s ambitious mission aimed to get a better understanding of the Moon’s origin and its evolution. Let’s witness the ISRO’s historic Chandrayaan-2 launch together. Here’s the live updates for Chandrayaan-2 (Baahubali) Mission Launch:
