The success of Chandrayaan-3 has taken India many miles ahead in the field of space technology. Now India is also being counted among those countries which have successfully landed their spacecraft on the Moon. Not only this, India has taken many steps forward and got the soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 done, which even America cannot do till now. The situation is such that now NASA itself has started demanding sharing of technology from ISRO.
In fact, ISRO Chief S Somnath told that at the time when the spacecraft was being developed for the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the experts of the American space agency NASA had demanded ISRO to share the technology of Chandrayaan-3.
Somnath said that at the time Chandrayaan-3 mission was being launched, a team of NASA scientists was also present in ISRO. He was surprised at how much advanced technology India had created at such a low cost. How is India going to the South Pole of the Moon at such a low cost?
ISRO chief, while addressing the students in a program organized by former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Foundation, said that India has achieved many achievements in the field of space. India is fully capable of making better rockets and other equipment on its own.
American scientists present at ISRO head quarter say that such excellent scientific instruments are so good and cheap, all the instruments are equipped with high technology. He expressed surprise and asked how you made it. He also talked about selling it to America.
While addressing the students in this context, S. Somnath said that India is progressing rapidly in the field of technology. Under Make in India, most of the equipment has started using indigenous products. He said that India will soon become a world leader.
It is noteworthy that India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission had created history by making a soft landing in the south pole region of the Moon on August 23 and it had become the first country in the world to do so. With this, India became the fourth country in the world to do a successful soft landing on the Moon after America, the erstwhile Soviet Union and China.
Along with Chandrayaan-3, India has also launched Aditya L-1 mission to study the Sun. Aditya L1 has been designed to collect important information related to the Sun.
While addressing the students, Somnath said that now ISRO is preparing for its first manned space flight program, ISRO is also preparing for its missions in Mars and Venus.
