A few hours after the successful launch of Chandrayaan-2’s GSLV Mark-III rocket, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released high-quality images of the rocket launch soon after lift-off.
Here are the images released by ISRO capturing the thrust and power of the S200 solid rocket boosters, which along with the twin engine L110 and CE-20 cryogenic engines propelled the lunar rover into space.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
