This significant milestone propels our nation forward, serving… pic.twitter.com/I5GGIB3W7FFormer ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan on Thursday told PTI that Chandrayaan-3's successful landing will make India only the fourth nation to achieve this and it would increase the potential for space science development in the country.
He said this will also help India boost its share in the global space business. Currently India's share in the 600 billion-dollar industry is an abysmal 2%.
Chandrayan-2 managed to land on the Moon but failed to do a soft landing due to some software and mechanical issues. Now they have worked on every aspect of it for four years and are hopeful to do a soft landing, the former scientist said.
