A Storied Victory and a Vision Realized
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister himself made an extraordinary journey from Greece to Bengaluru to pay tribute to ISRO scientists and share his admiration for their monumental accomplishments. “As far as we are concerned, not just the soft landing, but the entire aspects of Chandrayaan-3 were 100 per cent successful,” Somanath announced, his voice brimming with pride.

With stars in his eyes, Somanath declared India’s potential to explore the cosmic expanse even further, setting sights on celestial bodies like the moon, Mars, and Venus. However, he acknowledged that the journey requires not only heightened confidence but also increased investment to match the grandeur of the ambitions.
In the midst of this cosmic odyssey, Somanath stressed that ISRO’s mission transcends mere exploration—it’s about uplifting the nation’s progress through the expansion of the space sector itself. This mission to propel India into the forefront of global space exploration resonates as the driving force behind the agency’s tireless efforts.

Turning his gaze to the stars that illuminate our own world, Somanath announced that the Aditya-L1 satellite, the first space-based Indian observatory set to study the sun, has reached Sriharikota and stands ready for its forthcoming launch. Anticipation grows as the launch is scheduled for the first week of September, and the final date is poised to be unveiled within days.
As the Indian space odyssey continues, Somanath shared the excitement of receiving preliminary images from both the rover and the lander of Chandrayaan-3.

Additionally, August 23, the date of Chandrayaan-3’s lunar touchdown, shall be forever celebrated as National Space Day—an ode to the nation’s remarkable strides in the cosmos.
With a visionary Prime Minister at the helm and ISRO’s determination to push the boundaries of space exploration, India’s trajectory among the stars is poised for an exhilarating ascent.
