‘India is on the moon’, says space agency chief
The director general of the Indian Space Association says the landing is a historic and special moment for everyone in India.
“There were more than a million hearts beating louder and faster, waiting in the very critical last 20 minutes of the lander coming down,” Anil Kumar Bhatt told Al Jazeera.
“There is jubilation all around. I’m here in a college near Delhi, and my God, the excitement is remarkable. It’s like we won a World Cup match,” he said.
In 2019, India's Chandra-yaan-2 spacecraft attempted to touchdown but failed.
Rough terrain was cited as one of the reasons.
Indian space and satellite manufacturing companies.
And just a few days ago, Russia's first mission to the Moon in nearly 50 years ended with dissapointment - after its Luna-25 spacecraft crashed on landing.
Anil Kumar Bhatt is Director General of the Indian Space Association - it is an industry association for Indian space and satellite manufacturing companies.
He joins us from New Delhi to discuss the latest updates.
