Ending days of tension caused by heavy rains, Chandrayaan-1, India’s maiden moon mission, took off as planned in a textbook launch from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, about 80 km north of Chennai, on Wednesday morning.

“It is a historic moment for India. We have started our journey to the moon and the first leg has gone perfectly well,“ Dr G. Madhavan Nair, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation, said soon after the take-off at 6.22 am.

“Our baby is on way to the moon,” said the Chandrayaan project director, Mr Mylswamy Annadurai.
