India's indigenous moon mission, Chandrayaan-2, was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh last year on July 22, 2019. The orbiter completed one year around the moon on August 22, 2020. The spacecraft took off at 2.43 pm, exactly a week after the mission was aborted after a technical snag was detected less than an hour before the launch. In the run-up to the launch, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), on its Twitter, gave regular updates about preparations. ISRO chief K Sivan on said that the Chandrayaan-2 would perform 15 crucial maneuvers. He added that all the preparatory work regarding the launch had been completed, and technical glitches that developed in the first attempt were been rectified. The ISRO chief said that the spacecraft would land on the moon very slowly.
