ISRO Chandrayaan 2 launch Live: India's second moon mission Chandrayaan-2 will be launched today by using the heavy-lift launch vehicle GSLV-Mark-3.

This powerful rocket, popularly known as 'Bahubali', is working in a normal way. From this, Chandrayaan-2 will be launched from Satish Dhawan Space Center of Sriharikota on July 22 at 2:43 pm.

Chandrayaan-2 was planned to be launched on the 15th of this month. However, a technical snag was detected less than an hour before its scheduled lift-off, forcing the mission to be halted.

ISRO chief Dr K Sivan said that all the preparations for the launch of Chandrayaan-2 have been completed. Whatever technical weaknesses were seen in the first attempt, it has been rectified. Around 20 hours of countdown has started in Chandrayaan-2 from 6:53 pm on Sunday evening.
