PM Modi to visit ISRO in Bengaluru
On Saturday early in the morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will pay a visit to the Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Centre (ISTRAC) of the Indian Space Research Organisation in Bengaluru’s Peenya industrial district to congratulate the researchers on the successful landing of the Vikram lander on the Moon.
PM Modi is scheduled to speak to the scientific team working on the challenging unmanned lunar mission during his visit and go through ISRO’s future plans.
A traffic advisory has already been issued for the highways leading to the ISRO site. Restrictions are in place between 6:30 and 9:30 am on the highways leading to the facility in north Bengaluru, but not on the roads heading to HAL Airport in east and central Bengaluru.
India became the fourth country to accomplish this feat and the first to land on the unexplored south pole of the moon on August 23 after a dramatic 40-day voyage. The lander module conducted a flawless soft landing on the lunar surface as planned.
When the Vikram Lander touched down, PM Modi joined from Johannesburg, where he was taking part in the BRICS conference. He stated, “When we see such historic moments, it makes us very proud,” during his virtual address. The advent of a new India is now
The historic Chandrayaan-3 mission was successfully launched on July 14 from Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota using a Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3) missile, marking yet another advancement in ISRO’s space pursuits. It had a lander module and a propulsion module.
The lander module was set up with a lander named Vikram and a rover named Pragyan. The rover payload will analyse the chemical composition of the lunar surface after the soft landing. There is space for experiments on the payloads of the lander and rover.

The Pragyan rover made its first moonwalk on Wednesday after disengaging from the Vikram lander. The rover successfully rolled down onto the lunar surface using a two-segment ramp.
