The Indian Space
Research Organisation (ISRO) has had much to celebrate over the past year. In
keeping with the significant progress made by India’s space programme, ISRO
recognised today, August 23, as India’s maiden National Space Day,
livestreaming the ceremony from Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. The celebrations
came in the wake of Chandrayaan-3’s safe accomplishment, and Vikram Lander’s
soft landing on the lunar surface, making India the fourth country to land on
the moon, and the first to land near its Southern polar region. This landing
was followed by the Pragyan Rover’s successful deployment too. ISRO took the
opportunity to share the sheer leaps of growth that our country has made in
recent years, encouraging the nation to take a more active interest in our
space programme. Make sure you watch the ceremony today!
