Chandrayaan 3 ROVER, ramped down from the Vikram Lander and India took a walk on the moon reveals ISRO. President congratulates !

After successful soft landing of ISRO’S Chandrayaan at 6.03 PM on the Southern pole of the Moon yesterday while more than seven million You tubers watched the outstanding feat live, including crores of Indians curiously glued to their mobiles and TV sets, setting a world record for being the first country in the world to have landed on unexplored South Pole, the moon rover of the Chandrayaan has exited the space craft walking on moon’s surface exploring it as per the information given by ISRO on X today. Giving this information the ISRO revealed that the Chandrayaan 3 ROVER, ramped down from the Vikram Lander and India took a walk on the moon. More updates soon ! This heartening news about the rover walking on moon swiftly sending pictures and also exploring various experiments has been lauded by the president of India. The president Draupadi Murmu on her X while again congratulating the ISRO team after the rover exiting from the Lander and walking on moon wrote : I once again congratulate the ISRO team and all fellow citizens for successful deployment of PRAGYAN – rover from inside Vikram Lander. Its rolling out a few hours after the landing of Vikram marked the success of yet another stage of Chandrayaan 3. I look forward with excitement , alongside my fellow citizens and scientists to the information and analysis that PRAGYAN will acquire and enrich our understanding of the moon. The ISRO Chandrayaan 3 mission that cost Rs 615 crores will last for only two weeks. However, the 2019 ISRO mission wasn’t successful as the Lander crashed before touching down though its launch and setting in orbit was successful. The Chandrayaan 2 mission cost was 96.5 million dollars. During its two weeks existence remaining functional as being hoped by ISRO scientists the Moon vehicle will be sending latest pictures, conducting experiments including the spectrometer analysis of the liner surface’s mineral composition. The prime minister Narendra Modi had also congratulated ISRO for this outstanding success and promised to come to Bangalore ISRO headquarter to personally congratulate the ISRO chief Somnath and his entire team. He said this is a Historic day for India’s space sector. Congratulations to @isro for the remarkable success of Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission. According to Google the Chandrayaan will measure the ions and electron density and the thermal properties of the lunar surface near the polar regions. This will be the first of its kind as no other country in the world proved successful till yet, except India. The former Congress president and MP Rahul Gandhi while congratulating ISRO and the entire team wrote on X on Wednesday evening : Congratulations to team ISRO for today’s pioneering feat. # CHANDRAYAAN’S soft landing on the uncharted lunar South Pole is the result of the decades of tremendous Ingenuity and hard work by our scientific community. Since 1962 India’s, space programme has continued to scale new heights and inspire generations of young dreamers said Rahul Gandhi on X. Kindly recall that a few days ago the Russian Lander has crashed while landing on the moon.

On Wednesday, the communication chief of Congress party and former environment minister Jairam Ramesh while congratulating ISRO for the outstanding success wrote a detailed note on X mentioning about the foundation of ISRO in 1962 during Congress regime and its contribution in space science invention and innovation . He wrote and also posted his video which mentioned under the title ” ISRO’s achievement today reflects a saga of continuity and is truly fantastic!”, Then mentioned Ramesh : In February 1962, the farsightedness of Homi Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai created INCOSPAR (Indian National Committee for Space Research). Incidentally, one of the first recruits to INCOSPAR was none other than Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. In August 1969, the development-oriented Vikram Sarabhai established ISRO. Between 1972 and 1984, Satish Dhawan provided extraordinary scientific, technological and managerial leadership to decisively shape the ISRO that we know today. Along with him, we remember Brahm Prakash, the great metallurgist who made fundamental contributions to both our nuclear and space programmes—perhaps the only scientist-engineer to have done so. After Dhawan, came a series of Chairmen including U R Rao, who made their own distinctive contributions to ISRO. ISRO’s accomplishments have always been anchored in self-reliance. They reflect phenomenal team work, partnerships and enterprise. The entire world is looking up to ISRO today, acknowledging its achievements, and for us Indians, it is a matter of special pride. The Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge too gave a detailed account of space programme while congratulating ISRO for this exemplary achievement. He wrote on X and also posted his video congratulating the entire ISRO team terming it a collective success : The success of #Chandrayaan3 is the collective success of every Indian. An elated nation with 140 crore aspirations witnessed today yet another achievement in its six-decade long space programme. We are deeply indebted to the remarkable hard work, unparalleled ingenuity and unflinching dedication of our scientists, space engineers, researchers and everyone involved in making this mission a triumph for India. In 2008, when the Moon Impact Probe (MIP), the Chandrayaan-1 Mission, carrying the Indian National Flag landed on the moon, we became the 4th country to land a scientific device on the moon’s surface. Today, through the Chandrayaan-3, we have displayed our scientific prowess to the world. The immaculate soft-landing of Vikram lander and Pragyaan rover is a fitting tribute to Dr Homi J Bhabha, Dr Vikram Sarabhai, Dr Satish Dhawan, Dr Meghnad Saha, Dr Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar, Dr A P J Abdul Kalam and many other legendary scientists who paved the way for India’s unmatchable progress in the field of space research and scientific dexterity. The historic Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 confirmed the presence of water molecules on the lunar surface. Chandrayaan -2 detected the presence of chromium, manganese, and sodium for the first time. Mangalyaan – Our Mars Orbiter Mission made India the first country to successfully achieve an interplanetary mission, in its maiden attempt. These accomplishments are a testament to the vision of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru who emphasized and sincerely believed that a critical commitment to science could drive the spirit of development of our newly independent nation by igniting the spirit and minds of the people. This was later followed by successive Prime Ministers. The Congress party has always believed in advancement of world peace and fellowship, and the descent of #VikramLander on the surface of the moon, is a solemn affirmation of our commitment to use science for peaceful and welfare purposes. From Aryabhata Mission, to Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma’s space odyssey – where he said “Sare Jahan Se Achcha Hindostan Hamara” to Chandrayaan Missions, India has come a long way in space research and exploration.
