The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft with an orbiter, lander and a rover lifted off at 14:35 on Friday (09:05 GMT) from Sriharikota space centre. The lander is due to reach the Moon on 23-24 August. If successful, India will be only the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon, after the US, the former Soviet Union and China. 大象传媒's South Asia reporter Anbarrasan Ethirajan gives us the latest, and we hear voice messages from Indians for their reactions to the launch.
