Chandrayaan-3 mission done, ISRO eyes big SUCCESS with Gaganyaan and Shukrayaan missions too
After the triumphant launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is now setting its sights on two ambitious projects: Gaganyaan mission and Shukrayaan mission, as affirmed by G. Appanna, the Group Director of ISRO at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Addressing a press conference alongside K. Raghu, the chairman of Raghu Group of Institutions, on October 4, Appanna unveiled the commencement of the four-day World Space Week at Raghu Engineering College, Dakamarri. The festivities kicked off on October 5 and will conclude on October 8, coinciding with significant milestones in space exploration history of ISRO.
World Space Week coincides with the launch of Sputnik on October 4, 1957, and the signing of the 1967 treaty that established the peaceful use of outer space. The program's inauguration will be attended by the IT Minister Gudivada Amarnath, while the valedictory address will be delivered by Y. Sreenivasa Rao, Director General of Naval System and Materials at DRDO, according to a report by the Hindu.
ISRO's involvement in the event will see approximately 20 scientists participating, engaging in lectures, symposiums, and organising competitions such as painting, poster-making, and quizzes for students from schools and colleges. "About 3,000 students are expected to visit the REC campus daily. We are setting up a huge exhibition corner, showcasing rocket and satellite prototypes, right from the first one to the latest," Appanna revealed.
Similar programs are concurrently taking place at four locations across Andhra Pradesh, alongside Visakhapatnam, encompassing colleges in Kurnool, Rajamahendravaram, and Sriharikota.
