Celebration of National Space Day: India’s Journey to the Moon

 

National Space Day Significance

National Space Day is celebrated on August 23 to mark and rejoice in the success and progress made in space travel. It is used as a venue to inform people about the relevance of space missions and to inspire new generations of scientists and explorers. We highlight the year’s outstanding contributions from India to lunar exploration via its Chandrayaan missions.

Chandrayaan 1

Chandrayaan 1 was India’s first lunar mission, launched on October 22, 2008. Carried out by the Indian Space Research Organisation, this mission’s idea was basically to chart the moon’s surface and study its mineral composition. Success eluded none other than this mission, as it later detected water molecules on the surface of the moon, which was an absolute breakthrough in space exploration, with very wide repercussions for future lunar missions.

Chandrayaan 2

Building on the success of Chandrayaan 1, ISRO launched Chandrayaan 2 on July 22, 2019, which was more ambitious in containing an orbiter, a lander, Vikram, and a rover, Pragyan. While the lander had a hard landing, the Orbiter continues to send valuable data related to the Moon’s surface and exosphere to this day. Chandrayaan 2 at the same time showcased the rising potential of India in the area of space technology and its commitment towards the exploration of the moon.

The “15 minutes of terror” during Chandrayaan 2’s mission referred to the critical and tense final descent of the Vikram lander, a period filled with uncertainty and high stakes as the spacecraft attempted to make its landing on the Moon’s surface.

Chandrayaan 3

Chandrayaan-3 was a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. It consisted of Lander and Rover configuration. It was launched by LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The propulsion module carried the lander and rover configuration till 100 km lunar orbit. The propulsion module had a SHAPE payload with spectro-polarimetry to study spectral and polarimetric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit for the habitable planet Earth. The Pragyan rover on India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission confirmed the presence of sulfur on the moon’s surface near the south pole.

For India to become the biggest economy in the world by 2047, much has to happen across the different sectors. At the core of this transformation, however, is the synergy between agricultural innovation and rural education empowerment.

The agriculture sector, engaging almost half of India’s workforce, has huge potential. It will help the farmer ensure the best yield for his crop without leading to any losses/wastages if practiced using precision farming methods. Proceeding with data-driven decisions, AI and IoT in agriculture will alter the age-old practice of cultivation. Promotion of sustainable agriculture and organic farming will not only bring in more exports but also provide food security for the burgeoning population.

At the same time, rural education should always be capable of leading innovation in any sector. Digital initiatives like mobile learning platforms can bring quality education closer to rural populations, therefore bridging the gap between the urban and the rural. This will increase vocational trainings answering local needs, hence equipping the youth with relevant skills at hand in order to reduce migration into cities and increase entrepreneurship in the countryside.

Not to forget the role of the government in this transformation process. Building rural infrastructures that have strong internet connectivity and stable power supply will, therefore, be an enablement factor for agriculture improvements just as much as for educational initiatives. Then, there is reforming policies aimed at attracting foreign investments in the agri-tech and edtech sectors.

These efforts are bound to bring in a spill-over effect across the economy of India. A more efficient agricultural sector will release this labor for use in manufacturing and services to drive growth of the economy as a whole. An educated rural population will add to consuming, saving, and investing—thereby further fueling economic expansion.

The blend of traditional knowledge with modern technology will thus be a unique competitive advantage for India in the global market. In using its demographic dividend and large natural resources, India can establish itself firmly as a global hub for sustainable solutions in agriculture and education.

If all stakeholders put in a serious effort, the path to economic supremacy is not going to be easy. It would then be pretty possible for India to realize its potential. As the country celebrates its centenary of independence in 2047, it may well find itself at the pinnacle of the world economic order, exemplifying the power of inclusive growth and human capital development.
