A special event was organised at the College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram (CET), on Saturday to felicitate Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists and alumni who were part of the Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission.
In a message, ISRO chairman S. Somanath said that the Chandrayaan-3 mission “showcased the power of the Indian mind” to achieve the spectacular soft-landing near the lunar south pole.
Minister for Higher Education R. Bindu inaugurated the event, titled ‘Chaandrathaaraa.’ Attending the event online, she said that the Chandrayaan-3 mission succeeded in generating awareness about the India’s space programme across the globe. The Keralites who were part of the mission have brought honour to the State, she added.
