Aimed at taking a giant leap in its space programme, India will Monday launch its second Moon mission Chandrayaan-2 onboard its heavy-lift rocket GSLV-MkIII, nicknamed Baahubali, from the spaceport here, to land a rover near the unexplored Lunar Southern Pole. The lift-off of the three-component spacecraft weighing 3,850kg and comprising an orbiter, the lander and the rover has been scheduled for 2.51am from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) here.
