23rd August 2023 at 6.04 PM IST is a golden moment not only for India,but for the entire Mankind! ISRO created history by soft landing the Vikram Lander Module on the most mysterious South pole (Regalith) of the Moon. India became the first country in the world to achieve this awesome space venture! India also became the fourth country to land on the moon successfully. A billion salute to the talent and dedication of the scientists and technocrats of ISRO!
“Success is a matter of choice, not by chance” this has been proved by ISRO by learning and improving from the failure of Chandrayan-2 in 2019 ! Then chairman K.Shivan was literally in tears but PM Modiji had consoled and encouraged the entire team to rededicate to the project. Now its impact is before the world to see and celebrate the historical success!
The entire cost of the Chandrayan-3 mission is about 615crores which is barest minimum compared to NASA! The fact that ISRO has chosen to land on the south pole itself is challenging as it’s a grey area even for NASA and ESA! It is also estimated to be the most resourceful and strategic area of the Moon in terms of rare minerals like Helium-3 – the fuel of the future. It’s also supposed to be the abundant source of water on the Moon. The Rover “Pragyan” has four payloads to carry on different experiments and survey of surface of the Moon which will unlock huge potential for future space mining! This is going to make India a strategic master of the Moon for other countries. It will also boost up the space market (worth 6 million dollar) in favour of India.
The present government has increased the allocation for Space Department. The policy of encouragement, innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of outer space has made a big difference between crawling India and rocking India! The vision and mission of the PM is the key behind such amazing victory! Many more projects are in the pipeline in near future ( Adityayan, Shukrayan, Mangalyan, Gaganyan…)
The voice of criticism from some quarters and pseudo-intellectuals about the Tirupati temple visit by ISRO chairman Dr. Somanath is meaningless because long back Albert Einstein had said “Science without religion is lame; Religion without science is blind!” Swami Vivekanand had said that” Religion begins where Science ends!” Dr.Abdul Kalam says that” the power of Faith is invisible in all human endeavours “ So, any talk about superficial rationalism is irrelevant!
Lastly, the success of Chandrayan-3 mission is unparalleled in the history of Space technology. The journey of India from Mohenjodaro to Moon is amazing story of human will power and dedication to the goal. Nobody should underestimate the significance of this success and its long-term benefits to India and the world. All the technical and scientific staff, especially women, who have contributed their talent to this mission deserve rich rewards and recognition by the Government and society at large. All the different wings like ISTRAC Peenya, Deep Space Network Byalalu, Space Application Centre Ahmedabad, Satish Dhawan Space centre Sriharikota,etc have given their contribution to this mission. The announcement by PM that August 23 as National Space Day, naming the location of Vikram landing as Shiva Shakti are welcome step to inspire the next generation to develop interest in Astro-physics.
Long live India, Jai Ho ISRO.
