The spacecraft took off at 2.43 pm on Monday, exactly a week post the mission was aborted after a technical snag was detected less than an hour before the launch.
ISRO had successfully completed the launch rehearsal of the Chandrayaan-2 mission on Saturday. It will be the first Indian expedition to attempt a soft landing on the lunar surface.
This mission will make India the fourth country after the US, Russia, and China to carry out a soft landing on Moon.
