<p>It added that an expert committee had identified the root cause of the previous technical snag and all corrective actions have been implemented.</p>
<p>The mission was called off less than an hour before lift-off of the 640-ton, 14-storey rocket launcher on Monday 15.</p>
<p>Chandrayaan, the Sanskrit word for “moon craft”, is designed to make a soft landing on the lunar south pole and send a rover to explore water deposits that were confirmed by a previous orbiting Indian space mission.</p>

<p>The new launch schedule on Sriharikota, an island off India’s south-eastern coast, is sooner than expected.</p>
<p>Pallava Bagla, a science editor of the New Delhi Television news channel, had earlier said launch windows would have to meet several technical criteria and it could take weeks or months for a new date.</p>

<p>Dr K Sivan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation, said the £110 million Chandrayaan-2 mission was the nation’s most prestigious to date, in part because of the technical complexities of soft landing on the lunar surface — an event he described as “15 terrifying minutes”.</p>
<p>A soft landing would make India only the fourth country to do so after the US, Russia and China.</p>
