Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet scientists of the ISRO team involved in the Chandrayaan-3 Mission at the ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network Mission Control Complex on Saturday. According to news agency ANI, PM Modi has arrived at HAL airport in Bengaluru after concluding his two-nation visit to South Africa and Greece this week.
After reaching the ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), PM will be briefed about the findings and progress in the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
The Prime Minister watched the live telecast from Johannesburg of the historic touchdown of lander Vikram on the Moon on Wednesday, while he was attending the 15th BRICS Summit.
India took a giant leap on Wednesday evening as the Chandrayaan-3 lander module successfully landed on the moon’s South Pole, making it the first country to have achieved the historic feat and bringing to an end the disappointment over the crash landing of the Chandrayaan-2, four years ago.
India became the fourth country – after the US, China, and Russia – to have successfully landed on the moon’s surface. The spacecraft was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota on July 14.
