The discussion about India's space scientists is echoing across the world. Scientists all over have done great work in the space field. And the best example of this is the soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the south pole of the Moon. This work of India is being appreciated all over the world. In this chapter, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission team has now received the prestigious 2024 John L. Jack Swigert Jr. Award for Space Exploration.
Space Foundation's top award
DC Manjunath, Consul General of India in Houston, received the award on behalf of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) during the inaugural ceremony of the Annual Space Symposium in Colorado. This is the top award of the US-based Space Foundation.
'India an inspiration to the world'
As the first to land on the Moon's south pole, ISRO's mission Chandrayaan 3 extends humanity's space exploration aspirations to new areas of understanding and collaboration, the Space Foundation said in a press release. “India’s leadership in space is an inspiration to the world,” Space Foundation CEO Heather Pringle said in a statement when the award was announced in January. The level of research has been raised again. His amazing moon landing is a role model for all of us. Congratulations and we can’t wait to see what you do next!”
India becomes the first country to visit the south pole of the Moon
In August last year, India created history by successfully making a soft landing on the south pole of the Moon under Mission Chandrayaan-3 and became the only country in the world to land on this region of the Moon. Before India, no country had reached the south pole of the Moon.
