India successfully launched a rocket to the moon Monday, a week after technical issues caused the mission to be aborted.

The unmanned lunar rocket, named Chandrayaan-2, launched from Satish Dhawan Space Center at 2:43 p.m. local time (5:13 a.m. EST) and is scheduled to land on the moon’s south pole in September. The spacecraft will hang out in Earth’s orbit for 23 days before it travels into the moon’s orbit.
