India has launched a rocket into space, hoping to perform a soft landing of a rover on the moon. The country's most ambitious space mission yet, the AUD$206 million mission, if successful, will enable India to carry out studies on the presence of water at the south pole of the moon. Praba Maheswaran has the story in Tamil, written by Peggy Giakoumelos for SBS News.
