Mumbai, July 22 (IBNS): Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Monday congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists for the successful launch of the Chandrayaan2 mission.

" Chaand Taare todh laoon. Saari duniya par main Chhaoon! To do that requires hours & hours of painstaking work & integrity & belief. Congratulations to the team at #ISRO for #Chandrayaan2," SRK tweeted.

  Scripting a glorious chapter in the page of India's space mission, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists on Monday launched the Chandrayaan 2, the country's second lunar mission to  the little-explored south pole of the Moon with an aim to search for water and minerals among other scientific quests.

After an aborted launch on July 15 owing to technical snags, the launch took place at 2.43 pm on Monday (July 22).

The lift-off was perfect, said ISRO scientists as they sat in the control room and applauded watching the lift-off as the spacecraft hurtled towards the outer atmosphere, propelled by the 640-tonne rocket, named Baahubali.


Chandrayaan-2 is carrying an Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) and Rover (Pragyan). They took to skies from the SHAR Range at Sriharikota, commencing its 3.844 lakh km, month-long journey for a soft landing on the Moon's South Pole.
