Will we be on the moon in a few days?
Union Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Prasad has said that we have reached very close to the moon. ISRO scientists say that if everything goes well, their lander will be on the moon in the coming days. With this success, further gateways will be opened for the journey to the moon.
Many achievements in the account of India as soon as the mission is completed
If this mission is completed successfully, then India will become the fourth country in the world to do this feat. Not only this, India will be the first country in the world to have accomplished this mission without any heavy rocket. Apart from this, another achievement will come in India’s account, according to which India will be the country to execute this mission at the lowest cost.
