Mission Chandrayaan 2 Successfully Launched by ISRO

—By a Staff Reporter

Sriharikota, [insert date]: In a significant achievement for India’s space program, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched its Chandrayaan-2 mission on Monday, 22 July 2019, at 2.43 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The mission aims to help expand India’s footprint in space and surpass international aspirations.

The Chandrayaan-2 mission is a fully indigenous program developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation, consisting of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. The objective of the mission is to study the moon’s surface and environment, including its mineral composition and the presence of water. The spacecraft will also attempt to land on the moon’s south pole, a feat that has never been accomplished before.

The mission was launched on a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV Mk III) and was watched by scientists and dignitaries from around the world, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who congratulated the ISRO team on Twitter, saying, “Special moments that will be etched in the annals of our glorious history! The launch of #Chandrayaan2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determination of 130 crore Indians to scale new frontiers of science.”

The Chandrayaan-2 mission is a significant achievement for India’s space program and represents a major step forward in the country’s efforts to become a major player in the global space race. It also highlights the strength of India’s scientific community and its ability to undertake complex space missions entirely on its own.

The spacecraft is expected to reach the moon’s orbit in the coming days and perform a series of maneuvers to prepare for the landing attempt in early September. The success of the Chandrayaan-2 mission would mark a significant milestone in India’s space program and help to further cement the country’s position as a leading player in the global space race.
