Video: Moment Chandrayaan-3 took off for the Moon

The Indian Space Research Organisation launched the ambitious Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon in a textbook lift-off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. This is India's third lunar mission and it will take 48 days to reach the Moon, covering over 3,84,000 kilometers in the vacuum of space. India's latest space mission is a testament to the country's remarkable progress in space exploration and technology. Six decades after its first rocket launch, India now has a surer footing in the field of space exploration and technology.
