Chandrayaan-3's successful soft-landing on the Moon to propel India into an elite group of nations was lauded by leading foreign media outlets as a marvellous achievement and a massive moment for the country's space exploration that has raised its profile as a spacefaring nation. From The New York Times to BBC and The Guardian to The Washington Post, the historic event in India's space programme on Wednesday made headlines across the globe. Mainstream American newspapers, many of which had been sceptical of India's space mission and sometimes even made fun of it through cartoons, noted the great Indian achievement. "The Chandrayaan-3 mission makes India the first country to reach the lunar south polar region in one piece and adds to the achievements of the country's homegrown space programme," The New York Times reported. The Washington Post wrote a couple of stories covering various perspectives and an opinion piece to celebrate this historic occasion. "It is a marvellous achieve

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has congratulated two former students of Itanagar-based North East Regional Institute of Science and Technology (NERIST), who were part of the ISRO team which conducted India's successful Moon mission - Chandrayaan-3. Pankaj Nath, a 1990 batch student of the institute, was a member of the ISRO team that designed the landing propulsion of Chandrayaan-3. Another former NERIST student of the same batch, Subrata Chakrabarty, is also a member of the ISRO team, who designs and develops spacecraft valves. So proud of Shri Pankaj Nath, an ISRO scientist and one of the brilliant brains behind designing the landing propulsion of #Chandrayaan-3.

Former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Thursday wrote to ISRO Chairman S Somanath over the success of Chandrayaan-3, saying the space agency's outstanding capabilities have been built up over decades and it being anchored on self-reliance since the early sixties has contributed to its great successes. In her letter to Somanath, the Congress parliamentary party chief said she was writing to him to let him know how thrilled she was by the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) magnificent achievement on Wednesday evening. "It is a matter of great pride and excitement to all Indians, particularly the younger generation," Gandhi said. "ISRO's outstanding capabilities have been built up over decades.

Chandrayaan-3: No millionaires among Isro scientists, says Madhavan Nair

Buoyed by India's successful Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission, former ISRO chairman G Madhavan Nair said the scientists at space agency have achieved this historic success by getting a salary one-fifth of the scientists in the developed world. According to him, the low wages for the scientists at ISRO are one of the reasons why they could find low-cost solutions for space exploration. "The wages paid to the scientists, technicians, and other staff at ISRO are hardly one-fifth of what is given globally. So that gives an advantage," Nair told PTI while talking about the Indian space agency's history of exploring space at very low expenses. He said there are no millionaires among ISRO scientists, and they always live a very normal and subdued life. "They are not really bothered about the money but are passionate and dedicated to their mission. That is how we achieved greater heights," Nair said here. He said the scientists at ISRO could achieve this through careful planning and long-term
