The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has rescheduled the launch of Chandrayaan-2 on July 22 at 2:43 pm. ISRO had to call off the July 15 launch of Chandrayaan-2 in the eleventh hour due to a technical snag. July 15 launch was cancelled after a leak in the cryogenic stage of the launch vehicle was detected Chandrayaan-2 is India's second Moon mission, which involves ISRO soft-landing a lander (Vikram) and operating a robotic rover (Pragyan) on the lunar surface. It constitutes an Orbiter that goes around the Moon in a 100 km X 100 km orbit. ISRO has a host of objectives for Chandrayaan-2, including its hopes of unraveling some secrets about the evolution of the solar system. The most critical objective will be to reconfirm the presence of water on the Moon.
