Did You Know? 💭

We celebrate National Space Day on 23rd August every year to commemorate the historic day when India became only the 4th country to land on the Moon. On August 23, 2023, Chandrayaan-3 achieved a momentous soft landing on the Moon's south pole, making India the first nation to do so. 🌒🚀

From the launch of the country's first unmanned satellite, Aryabhata, in 1975 to the historic success of Mangalyaan missions, we're proud of India’s iconic journey into space! 🛰️
