An Indian astronaut from the Gaganyaan mission is slated to join the International Space Station (ISS), signifying a major step forward in the Indo-US space collaboration, according to Dr Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology.
India is celebrating National Space Day to mark the successful landing of Chandrayaan 3 on the moon. In addition to Chandrayaan, India has achieved numerous successful missions to Mars and the Sun in the past.
This achievement, making India the first country to land near the Moon's southern pole, is a testament to the nation's space exploration advancements. The day is dedicated to raising awareness of space science's role in national progress and inspiring future generations.
Today, we're celebrating a special milestone—India’s very first National Space Day, which is being marked on August 23. This date is significant because it’s the anniversary of Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander landing on the Moon’s south pole last year.
The Chandrayaan-3's rover was deployed by the Vikram lander, which made a soft landing near the south pole of the Moon on August 23, 2023, scripting history. Chandrayaan-3, consisting of the lander and rover, was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
