 "Chandrayaan-2 moon mission to take off on July 22 at 2.43 pm: Isro")
India’s second mission to the Moon — Chandrayaan-2 — will now lift off at 2.43 pm on July 22 with scientists resolving the technical glitch in GSLV-MkIII-M1 rocket that led to the aborting of the launch three days ago, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) said on Thursday.
Chandrayaan-2 was originally scheduled to take off in the first week of January but was rescheduled for 2.50 am on July 15. It was again postponed after a technical snag was observed in the rocket GSLV Mk-III, which is the most powerful and heaviest rocket of Isro.
