Chandrayaan-2 launched successfully, gets a step closer to Moon

“月船2号”成功发射，离月球又近了一步

SRIHARIKOTA: Just two days after the world celebrated the 50th anniversary of human landing on Moon, India on Monday successfully launched its lander-rover mission to Earth's only natural satellite. GSLV-MkIII, carrying the Chandrayaan-2 module on its tip, lifted off at 2.43pm without a glitch and released the lunarcraft to its desired geo-transfer orbit after 15 minutes. Unlike July 15 when a glitch in the cryo upper stage of the rocket led to stalling of the launch, this time it was a textbook launch as thousands of spectators at the viewers' gallery here cheered the thunderous lift off of Isro's 'Bahubali' on a cloudy day from the second launchpad. If the lander successfully lands on Moon after 48 days, India will become the fourth country after the USSR, the US and to soft land on the lunar surface.

斯里赫里戈达岛：就在全球庆祝人类登月50周年的两天后，印度于周一成功向月球发射了探测器。搭载着“月船2号”的GSLV-MkIII火箭于下午2点43分发射升空，没有出现任何故障，15分钟后将月球探测器释放到预定的地球同步轨道。与7月15日不同，当时在火箭的低温级出现一个故障，导致推迟发射。而这次是一个教科书式的发射，数千名观众在观看廊欢呼，Isro的“巴霍巴利”火箭在雷鸣般欢呼声中从第二个发射台升空。如果着陆器在48天后成功登陆月球，印度将成为继苏联、美国和之后第四个在月球表面实现软着陆的国家。

Calling the successful launch a "historic day for India and space science", Isro chairman K Sivan announced, "GSLV Mk III has successfully injected Chandrayaan-2 in its desired orbit. In fact, the orbit is 6,000km more than what we expected. Now, the spacecraft and its team will have more life and fuel for manoeuvres. It is a begng of historical journey of India towards Moon and to land at a place near South Pole to carry out scientific experiments."

Isro主席K Sivan称：“此次的成功发射对印度而言，是历史性的一天。“GSLV Mk III火箭已经成功将“月船2号”送入预定轨道。这个轨道比我们预计的要长6000公里。探测器及其组建将需要有更多的燃料来进行操作。这是印度走向月球，在南极附近着陆并进行科学实验的历史性旅程的开始。”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who watched the live telecast of the launch, said: "Special moments that will be etched in the annals of our glorious history. The launch of Chandrayaan-2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determination of 130 crore Indians to scale new frontiers of science. Every Indian is immensely proud today."

观看了发射现场直播的印度总理莫迪称:“这些特殊的时刻将被铭刻在我们光辉历史的编年史上。“月船2号”的发射展示了我们科学家的非凡能力和13亿印度人攀登科学新前沿的决心。今天，每个印度人都非常自豪。”

we need stronger rocket to directly travel to lunar orbit. Also to compete with space X in space industry,we should work on reusable rockets.than our programme will become super cheap

我们需要更强大的火箭，直接进入月球轨道。为了在航天工业上与space X竞争，我们应该致研制可重复使用的火箭，成本会便宜得多。

Congratulation to the Indian team who worked and made this possible. I was just wondering why is it that most of the people working at ISRO and other related organisation are all from Southern Part of India ?? Itis it that only Southern''s have brains and the rest are drains.

祝贺ISRO团队，是他们让这一切成为可能。我只是想知道，为什么在ISRO和其他相关组织工作的大多数人来自印度南部?

只有南方人聪明，其余的都是些废物。

作为印度人，我们可以自豪地说，我们也加入了美国、俄罗斯和的行列，向月球发射了探测器。我们为印度感到骄傲。

我们的科学家应做进一步的调查，探测月球上的一切，并超越俱乐部中的其他三个国家，为人类的发展做更多贡献。

ISRO started by Congress and chandrayaan project also by Congress... BJP never supported scientfic community, they only support cow Rakshashs.

ISRO是由国大党成立的，月船计划也是由国大党发起的。人民党从来不支持科学团体，他们只供奉神牛。

It's a truly proud moment for all Indians. Now, I am sure, there will be argument for credits. Congress will now claim it's from UPA time the Chandriyaan programme started like many other projects they started on paper.

对所有印度人来说，这是一个真正值得骄傲的时刻。现在，我敢肯定，肯定会有关于功劳归属的争论。现在，国大党将声称，月船计划和其他许多项目一样，是从国大党时期开始实施的，实际上他们都是在纸上谈兵。
