Union Minister of State Jitendra Singh has said that an Indian will set foot on the surface of the moon in 2040.
President Draupadi Murmu, Union Minister of State for Science and Technology and Geosciences Jitendra Singh, ISRO Chairman Somnath and others participated in the program held in Delhi today (23 Aug.)
On the occasion of National Space Day. Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said, “India is making remarkable achievements in space exploration.
A year ago, India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft stunned the world by landing on the South Pole of the Moon.
In addition, this historic event established India as a leading country in space exploration.
Following this event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared August 23 as National Space Day last year.
The landing site of Chandrayaan-3 was named ‘Shiva Shakti Point’.
The theme of this first annual celebration was announced as ‘Touching Lives While Touching the Moon: India’s Space Era’.
Especially it was our scientists who worked hard to land Chandrayaan-3 safely on the South Pole of the Moon.
The credit of this entire achievement goes to our Prime Minister. Our space industry has been operating for the last 60 years without adequate resources.
It was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who took the revolutionary decision to free our space industry from that financial bind.
Due to this, the number of startups in the space industry increased to 300 in 3-4 years.
The manner in which the resource shortage was addressed is the result of which India’s space industry is at the top of the world today.
Next year is a very important year. The year 2025 will be remembered as Kaganyan Mission.
He stated , As per our current plan, India will have its own space station by 2035. An Indian will land on the moon in 2040.
