Chandrayaan 2 Launch Live Updates: Filling of Liquid Hydrogen is in progress

A week after the Chandrayaan-2 lift-off was called of due to a technical glitch at the last momet, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is now ready to launch India’s second mission to the Moon at 2:43 PM today, July 22 from the second launchpad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, over 100km from Chennai.

India’s second Moon odyssey comes 11 years after ISRO’s successful first lunar mission Chandrayaan 1, which had created history by creating as many as 3,400 orbits around Moon. Chandrayaan 2 is a follow-up mission to Chandrayaan 1, which helped confirm the presence of water/hydroxyl on the Moon in 2009.
