The launch was scheduled for July 15 but due to technical issues, it was postponed to July 22. ISRO Chief Kailasavadivoo Sivan said that Chandrayaan-2 has been launched successfully. "Isro has bounced back with flying colours after serious technical snag,” said Sivan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the "prowess" of India's scientists and the "determination" of its citizens. "#Chandrayaan2 is unique because it will explore and perform studies on the south pole region of lunar terrain which is not explored and sampled by any past mission. This mission will offer new knowledge about the Moon," he wrote on Twitter. Bollywood celebrities also hailed ISRO scientists for the successful launch.
