Interests on moon not over yet: ISRO Chief
12/14/2023 11:33:42 PM
New Delhi, Dec 14: Buoyed by the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO chief S Somanath on Thursday said the interest on the moon is not over yet and that the space agency is now eyeing to bring some rocks from its surface.
Delivering a lecture at Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre (RBCC) here under the ‘Rashtrapati Bhavan Vimarsh Shrinkhala’, he shared details of a “sample return mission” to bring back rocks from the moon.
“On the moon, our interests are not yet over. I assure Rashtrapati Ji, that we will bring some moon rocks ourselves,” Somanath said. He said it is not going to be an easy mission.
“If you want to go to the moon and come back and land and recover everything then you need much more technology than what we actually have to land it,” he said.
Somanath said the sample return mission is “a very complex mission” and everything has to be done autonomously with no human being involved.
“So we are currently designing such a mission and we would like to do it in the next four years time. That is our target,” he said amid a round of applause for the audience.
During his nearly 40-minute talk, the chief of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said the mission to send “an Indian to space” is currently going on.
Somanath said that the service and crew modules have been designed.
“We will launch (humans) very safely to space and bring them back also safely. For the safety of the mission, we are currently doing a lot of work,” he said.
“It’s our desire to build a space station,” Somanath said, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reviewed its preparations and has already given directions to build a space station by 2035.
