India's recent achievement with the Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission showcases the nation's remarkable progress in space exploration. Successfully entering the moon's orbit on August 5, this mission holds the promise of a controlled landing near the south pole between August 23 and 24, marking a significant milestone after a previous failed attempt four years ago, Al Jazeera reported.
Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Chandrayaan-3's budget-friendly price tag of $74.6 million underlines India's proficiency in cost-effective space engineering, achieved through the adaptation of existing technology and the utilisation of a skilled, yet comparatively economical, workforce.
While the journey to the moon took longer than historic manned Apollo missions, India's persistence, innovation, and dedication to fixing previous glitches demonstrate the nation's growing capabilities in space exploration. With plans for future manned missions and ambitions to expand its share of the global commercial space market, India's space program continues to evolve, bolstered by its proven ability to achieve remarkable feats on a modest budget.
