ISRO on July 22, 2019, successfully launched its second lunar mission Chandrayaan-2 from Sriharikota spaceport in order to explore the uncharted south pole of the celestial body. Chandrayaan 2 rocket GSLV-MkIII-M1 includes a rover Pragyan which will be used in a high plain between two craters, Manzinus C and Simpelius N, at a latitude of about 70° south. The Chandrayaan 2 launch came exactly a week after the mission was aborted after a technical snag was observed during the propellant filling stage.

It's worth pointing out that Chandrayaan 2 is a unique mission for space. The mission is spearheaded by two women, Muthayya Vanitha and Ritu Karidhal. Reportedly, the two women have put gruelling working hours had contributed to the launch of Chandrayaan 2. This mission will make India the fourth country after the US, Russia, and China to carry out a soft landing on the moon.
