"In the latest sign of its growing stature as a science and technology powerhouse, India on Wednesday successfully launched its first moon rocket.
Following a 52-hour countdown, the unmanned Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Center on the island of Sriharikota in southern India at 6:22 a.m. local time. The craft pierced through cloudy skies atop the 320-ton Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle to begin a scheduled two-and-a-half year moon mission."
