NEW DELHI—India successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft to the far side of the moon July 22, a week after aborting the mission because of a technical problem.
Scientists at the mission control center burst into applause as the rocket lifted off in clear weather as scheduled at 2:43 p.m. (5.13 a.m. EDT) from Sriharikota in southern India. K. Sivan, head of India’s space agency, said the rocket successfully injected the spacecraft into orbit.
