India is only the fourth country ever to successfully land on the Moon Read more at straitstimes.com.
NEW DELHI - It was one final, small but critical manoeuvre from its lunar lander that brought a giant leap for India’s space programme.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had joined in the live broadcast from Johannesburg, South Africa, where he isdescribed the feat as “new India’s victory cry” and said the mission’s success belonged “to all of humanity”. Excitement has been building across India since the launch on July 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, off the coast of the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Ahead of the scheduled landing, prayer ceremonies were held on Wednesday by ordinary citizens, children showed up at schools with posters wishing the mission well, and special live screenings were held for the public.
But the more crucial achievement will lie in what India’s space agency can do “from the point of view of science”. Landing softly on the Moon is tricky, as several recent missions have shown. Russia’s Luna-25 lander crashed last Saturday, four months after the United Arab Emirates’ Rashid rover, carried aboard a private Japanese lander, shared the same fate.
