New Delhi, July 22 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hailed the space agency ISRO for the successful launch of Chandrayaan 2.
In a series of Tweets, he said, “Special moments that will be etched in the annals of our glorious history! The launch of Chandrayaan 2 illustrates the prowess of our scientists and the determination of 130 crore Indians to scale new frontiers of science. Every Indian is immensely proud today!”
He further said, “Indian at heart, Indian in spirit! What would make every Indian overjoyed is the fact that Chandrayaan 2 is a fully indigenous mission. It will have an Orbiter for remote sensing the Moon and also a Lander-Rover module for analysis of lunar surface.”
“Chandrayaan 2 is unique because it will explore and perform studies on
the south pole region of lunar terrain which is not explored and sampled by any
past mission. This mission will offer new knowledge about the Moon,” he added.
Prime Minister said,
“Efforts such as Chandrayaan 2 will further encourage our bright youngsters
towards science, top quality research and innovation. Thanks to Chandrayaan,
India’s Lunar Programme will get a substantial boost. Our existing knowledge of
the Moon will be significantly enhanced.”
