Chandrayaan launch called off due to snag
With the countdown clock freezing minutes before 2 am, the launch of Chandrayaan-2, India’s second mission to moon, was called off 56 minutes before the scheduled time early Monday morning.
Sriharikota: With the countdown clock freezing minutes before 2 am, the launch of Chandrayaan-2, India's second mission to moon, was called off 56 minutes before the scheduled time early Monday morning.
The GSLV Mark III carrying the orbiter, lander, and rover was to take off at 2:51 am from Sriharikota, the country's only launch site.
The launch was aborted as an "abundant precaution" after a technical snag was noticed in the launch vehicle systems after filling liquid hydrogen in the cryogenic upper stage of the rocket.
"A technical snag was observed in launch vehicle system at 1 hour before the launch. As a measure of abundant precaution, #Chandrayaan2 launch has been called off for today.
Revised launch date will be announced later," a statement from the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) said.
