ISRO had to abandon the launch of the country’s most ambitious space mission early Monday as “a measure of abundant precaution”, less than an hour before blast-off.
Chandrayaan-2 was scheduled to go from India’s spaceport at Sriharikota on the eastern shore in Andhra Pradesh state at 2:51 a.m. IST. Indian President Ram Nath Kovind was also present at the Satish Dhavan Space Centre to witness the historic event.
