Chandrayaan-3: India's historic Moon mission lifts off successfully
With Chandrayaan-3, India aims to be the first to land near the Moon's little-explored south pole.

India has launched its third Moon mission, aiming to be the first to land near its little-explored south pole.
The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft with an orbiter, lander and a rover lifted off at 14:35 on Friday (09:05 GMT) from Sriharikota space centre.
The lander is due to reach the Moon on 23-24 August.
If successful, India will be only the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, after the US, the former Soviet Union and China.
Keep doubting India if you want to
