At 2:43 pm today, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched a GSLV Mk III rocket carrying the Chandrayaan 2 stack of instruments. This is a historic mission that will attempt to land a lander and rover on the Moon’s surface on September 7. If everything goes well, India will become only the fourth country to have achieved a soft-landing on an extraterrestrial body. The orbiter, lander and rover will then perform a slew of experiments on the lunar surface to glean new, hard-earned insights that could inform future attempts to undertake more expansive missions to the Moon.
