Check out reactions of Indian people as ISRO’s launched its moon mission:
Finally on Monday at 2.43 pm India created history by launching Chandrayaan 2, its first lander mission to the moon from Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota. The mission is expected to see the soft landing of the spacecraft on the moon’s surface on 7th September.
After an unsuccessful attempt last week, when the scientists had to call off the launch of the mission less than an hour before the lift due to a technical glitch, today the launch took place. They successfully sent massive 640-tonne GSLV Mk-III rocket carried the 3850-kg Chandrayaan-2 module into space. Nearly 5,000 people watched the launch through a viewing gallery. After the launch wishes and appreciation poured in for ISRO.

Indian at heart, Indian in spirit!
What would make every Indian overjoyed is the fact that #Chandrayaan2 is a fully indigenous mission.
It will have an Orbiter for remote sensing the Moon and also a Lander-Rover module for analysis of lunar surface.

I always looked up at the moon as a child, wondering what secrets it’s hiding. The successful launch of #Chandrayaan2 will shed some light on these secrets, & motivate the next gen to help India’s space exploration programme. I congratulate everyone at @ISRO for this success. pic.twitter.com/xy6aGt0xi3

If Lunar landing of Apollo 11 was hailed as ‘Giant leap for mankind’ the launch of #Chandrayaan2 will be remembered as a ‘Giant leap for womankind.’
