We Shall Overcome: R Madhavan, Anupam Kher And Kamal Haasan Extend Support To ISRO
Chandrayaan-2 was launched into space on July 22 by India's heavy-lift launch vehicle, Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV Mk III). The mission was divided into three segments - the Orbiter (weighing 2,379 kg, eight payloads), 'Vikram' (1,471 kg, four payloads) and rover 'Pragyan' (27 kg, two payloads).
After five earth-bound orbit raising activities, Chandrayaan-2 was inserted into lunar orbit. The lander Vikram carrying the rover Pragyan separated from Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft on September 2, in its journey towards the moon. On Saturday, everyone was waiting for Vikram lander to land on the moon.
However, even as the communication between the orbiter and lander was lost, ISRO¡¯s scientists remained hopeful as they received great support from everyone including PM Modi. Also extending a beam of hope were Bollywood actors.
This does not tantamount to failure. In Research and Development there will be a learning curve. This, is that precious learning moment. We will soon be on the Moon, Thanks to #ISRO. The Nation believes and applauds ISRO.
