ISRO Chandrayaan – 2 Rocket Launch: How To Watch Live In Action

Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) ambitious project Chandrayaan - 2 would be the organisation's second attempt to explore space and moon. The mission was recently postponed due to a technical snag. It looks like the space agency has fixed the glitch, and the rocket is all set to launch from the Sriharikota launch center on July 22nd at 14:43 or 02:43 PM IST.

What is Chandrayaan - 2

Chandrayana, a Hindi word that literally translates to moon travel. Since this is the second project from ISRO to study the moon, it is being called as Chandrayana - 2. The satellite will be carried by GSLVMkIII vehicle, and the rocket launch will be live-streamed on Facebook, YouTube, and DD National TV channel. The overall budget for Chandrayana - 2 is Rs. 978 crore, which is less than the production budget of the movie Avengers Endgame.

What Makes Chandrayaan - 2 A Special Space Project?

According to ISRO, Chandrayaan - 2 is the first space mission that soft lands on Moon's south polar region. This will also make India only the fourth country in the world to soft-land on the lunar surface after the US, Russia, and China.

After the launch of the Chandrayaan - 2, the rocket will land on the moon on September 7th and will stay on the lunar surface for 14 Earth days or 1 lunar day to collect various data.

Our Opinion On Chandrayaan - 2

The Chandrayaan -2 is a proud thing for Indians, as Indian scientists have worked hard with a limited budget and in a short amount of time. This project proves that ISRO is a capable space program organization, which has the potential to achieve heights in the coming days.
