Honoring Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla’s Achievement
PM Modi began his speech by recognizing Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, who recently made India proud by hoisting the national tricolour on the International Space Station. This feat, the Prime Minister said, was a defining moment for India, showcasing the courage and determination of its astronauts. He emphasized that such milestones inspire the entire nation and encourage more young Indians to dream beyond the Earth’s boundaries.
Building India’s Astronaut Pool
One of the major highlights of the address was the announcement of an astronaut pool for India. PM Modi invited the youth to join this initiative and contribute to India’s dreams in space exploration. This pool will serve as the backbone of India’s future missions, including Gaganyaan and the ambitious India Own Space Station project.
By creating a strong community of trained astronauts, India is ensuring that its future missions will be led by capable and experienced individuals who can compete with global space explorers.
Breakthrough Technologies Paving the Way
PM Modi highlighted India’s rapid progress in advanced technologies such as semi-cryogenic engines and electric propulsion systems. These innovations are crucial for long-term space exploration, including manned missions and the establishment of a space station.
He underlined the fact that such technological advancements are not just achievements for scientists but also symbols of a new India that believes in “infinite possibilities.” With projects like Gaganyaan, the country is ready to take its astronauts into space and further move towards creating an independent space research hub.
National Space Day: A Celebration of Legacy and Future
This year’s National Space Day is celebrated with the theme “Aryabhatta to Gaganyaan: Ancient Wisdom to Infinite Possibilities.” The theme reflects the journey of Indian space science—from the historic Aryabhatta satellite launch to the upcoming Gaganyaan human spaceflight program.
The day also commemorates August 23, 2023, when India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved a successful soft landing on the lunar surface, making India the fourth country to achieve such a milestone. The landing site, named Shiv Shakti Point, remains a symbol of resilience, determination, and national pride.
