Chandrayan- 1 successfully ejected and Landed on the Lunar surface on 14 th friday night November 2008 with the tricolour painted on its sides the probe marked India's presence on the Moon and put India in the elite club. It was a historic and proud moment for all Indian's.
It was during Jawaharlal Nehru's time that the necleus for a space programme started. It is befitting that on Children's day, celebrated in his honour, that India should plant its flag on the Lunar surface.
The MIP, One of Chandrayan's most important scientific payloads, and one of undeniable geopolitical importance, had piggy-backed on the lunar craft for nearly 40,ooo km, detaching itself successfully from the mother-craft at 8.06 pm. India has now become the fourth country to have its national flag on the Moon. After a 25- minute flight MIP impacted the noon's surface at a speed of 1.6 km per second, landing on its target near shackleton crater on the south pole of the Moon. We are now convinced that an Indian astronant will walk on the Moon's surface in the not too distant future. Prof: John Kurakar
