India's Chandrayaan-2 today completes a year around the Moon. All the instruments are currently performing well.
On July 22, 2019 the GSLV rocket nicknamed 'Bahubali’ blasted off from the second launch pad at the rocket port at Sriharikota near Chennai. The Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was inserted into lunar orbit on August 20, 2019.
