Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third lunar mission. The mission is scheduled to launch in August 2023. The spacecraft will land on the Moon’s South Pole.
The landing point of Chandrayaan-3 is a critical part of the mission. The spacecraft will need to land precisely in order to collect data and conduct experiments.
The name “Shiv Shakti” is a fitting tribute to the challenges that the scientists of ISRO have overcome in order to make Chandrayaan-3 a reality. It is also a reminder of the country’s commitment to space exploration and its desire to make India a leader in this field.
The announcement by Modi was met with applause by the scientists of ISRO. They are confident that Chandrayaan-3 will be a success and that it will help India to achieve its goals in space exploration.
Here are some of the reactions to the announcement:
- “This is a proud moment for India. The name ‘Shiv Shakti’ is a fitting tribute to the power of Lord Shiva and the strength of the Indian scientists.” – Dr. K. Sivan, Chairman, ISRO
