NEW DELHI – Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised India’s space exploration efforts as another technology milestone was achieved with the successful transition of the Propulsion Module of Chandrayaan-3 from orbiting the Moon to orbiting the Earth. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) carried out this unique experiment in preparation for the upcoming Chandrayaan-3 mission.
Expressing his congratulations to ISRO on this significant accomplishment, the Prime Minister highlighted India’s future space endeavors, particularly the goal of sending an Indian astronaut to the Moon by 2040.
ISRO emphasized the importance of this step in the Chandrayaan-3 mission as it moves closer to demonstrating a soft landing near the lunar south polar region. The mission also aims to conduct various scientific experiments using the instruments on board the ‘Vikram’ lander and the ‘Pragyan’ rover.
In a statement, ISRO described the achievement as a major milestone in India’s space exploration journey. The successful transition of the Propulsion Module proves India’s technological capabilities in the field of space research and its commitment to advancing scientific knowledge.
The successful transition of the Propulsion Module of Chandrayaan-3 from the Moon’s orbit to the Earth’s orbit is a significant accomplishment for ISRO and our nation. This achievement brings us closer to our goal of landing on the Moon and conducting crucial scientific experiments, said Dr. Sivan, Chairman of ISRO.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission holds immense promise for India’s space program and scientific community. It represents another stride forward in India’s plans for lunar exploration and will contribute valuable data to enhance our understanding of the Moon’s surface and geology.
This milestone achievement has captured the attention and interest of people around the world. As India continues to make significant advancements in space technology, the global community looks forward to witnessing further developments and scientific breakthroughs in the country’s future space missions.
With the successful transition of the Propulsion Module, Chandrayaan-3 is now one step closer to achieving its objective of a soft landing near the lunar south polar region. The ‘Vikram’ lander and ‘Pragyan’ rover, equipped with advanced scientific instruments, will play a pivotal role in conducting experiments and collecting data essential for further exploring the lunar surface.
The Indian government’s push for technological innovation and its commitment to space exploration have resulted in remarkable achievements, garnering the admiration of the international community.
The successful transition of the Propulsion Module is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and perseverance of India’s scientists and engineers at ISRO. It adds another feather to the cap of India’s space research program, igniting hope and excitement for future lunar missions and India’s ambitious goal of sending an Indian astronaut to the Moon in the coming decades.
As India continues to make progress in space exploration, the nation sets its sights high, aiming for more groundbreaking milestones and contributions to the scientific community. The successful transition of Chandrayaan-3’s Propulsion Module marks a significant step forward on this remarkable journey.
