India's maiden moon mission Chandrayaan-1 successfully lifted off from the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on Wednesday.
Chandrayaan lifted-off at 0620 hours on board the indigenously-built rocket, PSLV-C11, from the spaceport of Sriharikota on the east coast in Andhra Pradesh, some 100 km north of Chennai.

The event marks India's entry into select band of lunar explorers -- the European Space Agency (ESA), Japan, China, the US and Russia which have undertaken moon missions.
