PM Modi praised our work, reviewed a long-term space vision for 2047: S. Somanath
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman S.
Somanath while addressing an event in Bengaluru said that Prime Minister Modi watched the live transmission of India's moon landing during the BRICS summit and later visited to celebrate the success.
He declared August 23rd as National Space Day, naming the Chandrayaan-3 landing site as Shiva Shakti Point and Chandrayaan-2's site as Tiranga Point.
During a visit to Kerala, he toured the rocket center, meeting Gaganyaan astronauts and interacting with Vyomitra, a language-capable robot.
He praised the engineers' work and reviewed a long-term space vision for 2047, announcing plans for Gaganyaan, a space station, and future moon missions.
He also personally inquired about the author's health, offering support during chemotherapy.
Modi's administration has bolstered India's space ecosystem through policies like the National Space Policy, FDI in space, and free geospatial data access, fostering private sector growth.
