Digital Desk: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to visit the city of Bengaluru tomorrow morning to extend his heartfelt congratulations to Team ISRO for the triumphant Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon. The Prime Minister's visit is a symbolic gesture to recognize the tireless efforts of the national space agency's scientists and researchers.
The highlight of the Prime Minister's visit will be his hour-long stop at the ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), the nerve center of the Indian Space Research Organisation. During this time, PM Modi will personally meet and greet the brilliant minds behind the successful lunar mission.
The occasion is particularly significant as it marks a moment of redemption for both ISRO and the nation. On Wednesday evening, the Lander Module of Chandrayaan-3 flawlessly touched down on the lunar surface, signifying a remarkable achievement for India's space endeavors. Prime Minister Modi was virtually present with the ISRO team at the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) within ISTRAC from Johannesburg, where he was participating in the 15th BRICS summit.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced that party leaders and workers will give Prime Minister Modi a warm welcome at two key locations – outside the HAL Airport and Jalahalli Cross, which is situated in close proximity to ISTRAC. This enthusiastic welcome is expected to reflect the joy and pride that the entire nation feels for ISRO's success.
Prime Minister Modi's visit brings back memories of September 6, 2019, when he had made an overnight journey to Bengaluru to witness the planned touchdown of the 'Vikram' lander, a crucial component of the Chandrayaan-2 mission. Unfortunately, in the early hours of September 7, mere minutes before its scheduled landing, ISRO lost communication with the lander at an altitude of just 2.1 kilometers above the lunar surface. Despite the setback, the incident served as a testament to the indomitable spirit of India's space program and its unwavering commitment to scientific exploration.
As India celebrates the success of Chandrayaan-3, the Prime Minister's presence in Bengaluru serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for the entire scientific community. The triumph of this mission not only signifies technological prowess but also showcases the spirit of resilience and determination that characterizes India's journey in space exploration.
The nation awaits with bated breath as Prime Minister Modi prepares to visit Bengaluru and personally felicitate the scientists and engineers who have brought glory to the country's space endeavors. The successful Chandrayaan-3 mission has not only propelled India further into the cosmos but has also demonstrated the power of perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.
