#NationalSpaceDay | On the inaugural National Space Day, Droupadi Murmu - 15th President of Republic of India delivered an inspirational speech celebrating India’s achievements in highlighting the successful landing of the Vikram Lander near the Moon's southern polar region as a testament to India's technological prowess and scientific advancements. The President also addressed the Space Debris issue, stating, “Space debris can create problems for space missions. To ensure that space research activities continue uninterrupted, the "ISRO System for Safe & Sustainable Operations Management" facility is being operated. This is a commendable step. I am also happy to know that India is moving ahead to make all its space missions debris-free by the year 2030.” The President emphasized that ISRO's contributions extend beyond space exploration, playing a crucial role in India's social and economic development. "ISRO has been an invaluable contributor to the social and economic development of the nation. India’s space mission aims to be self-reliant in the international sector," she said. https://lnkd.in/gq4xvZS8 #space #chandrayaan3 #isro #socioeconomic #SpaceExploration #IndiaSpaceSaga #satellites #spacedebris

#NationalSpaceDay | India celebrated its inaugural National Space Day on the 23rd of August, commemorating the historic Chandrayaan-3 mission marking the country’s successful landing on the lunar South Pole, a first for any nation at an event in New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam. The inaugural National Space Day was a grand affair graced by the presence of the 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚, 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐢 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐦𝐮, along with the ISRO - Indian Space Research Organization Chairman, Dr Somanath S, and the 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐃𝐫 𝐉𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡. Dr S Somnath remarked, “It was on August 23, 2023, that Chandrayaan-3 made history by successfully landing on the Moon, a feat that has forever etched India’s name in the annals of space exploration. At ISRO, we never anticipated the profound impact this achievement would have. It was during a visit by our Honourable Prime Minister to the control centre that the decision was made to commemorate August 23 as National Space Day and to name the Chandrayaan-3 landing site ‘Shiva Shakti Point.” Dr Jitendra Singh added, "India has demonstrated its space capabilities in all three verticals: space transportation, ground stations, and platforms. Beyond Earth and the deep sea, we are now reaching the next level—clearing space debris. We’ve set up one of the latest technologies in Bengaluru to detect and clear debris. Soon, we will also begin retrieving decommissioned satellites. By 2047, the space sector will be a key factor in India’s growth story as a developed nation.” India DST. #Chandrayaan3 #ISRO #IndiaInSpace #SpaceExploration #TouchingLivesTouchingTheMoon #IndiaSpaceSaga #satellites #spacedebris https://lnkd.in/gXiuM3py
