New Delhi: After a technical glitch aborted India`s moon mission last week, Chandrayaan-2 is all set to take off from Sriharikota, at 2:43 pm, on Monday.
The Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) stated that the filling of liquid oxygen in the upper cryogenic stage of the rocket was successfully completed at 12:50 pm, and the filling of liquid hydrogen is also completed.
After filling of fuel is done scientists would ensure that a necessary pressure is maintained in the Helium chamber.

Two hours to go !!! Filling of Liquid Oxygen in Cryogenic Stage(C25) of #GSLVMkIII-M1 completed and Filling of Liquid Hydrogen is in progress
At this stage only agency aborted the mission in first the launching of mission on 15 July.
While the process of fuelling was completed, a technical glitch was observed 56 minutes before the launch, which led scientists to halt the countdown immediately.
The launch was scheduled to take off at 2:51 am.
While Isro has not officially stated the details, there were reports that there was some problem in maintaining the Helium gas pressure.
The glitch has been fixed.
The Upper Cryogenic stage is the most crucial stage for Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV)-Mk-III – one of the most powerful rockets maintained by the space agency to carry satellite weighing 4 tonnes.
The total mass of GSLV-Mk-III carrying Chandrayaan-2 is 3.8 tonnes.
The cryogenic engine being used in GSLV has been indigenously manufactured by India, and has been used in previous launches including GSLV-D3 and GSLV –D5.
