NASA showers praise on Chandrayan-1
US Space Research organization “NASA” has showered a rain of praises on the Indian space mission Chandrayan-I and its first authentic discovery of possibilities of existence of water in the Moon.
With billions of dollars spending, the American Space Research Institution is undoubtedly the most advanced one. Various countries including US have been engaged in the research, to find out the real atmosphere in Moon by sending spaceships. But it is India with its limited financial resources that has successfully sent out Chandrayan-1 to the Moon, on 22nd October 2008, to explore the possibilities of existence of water and other natural resources there. It is noteworthy that Chandrayan-1 is the very first of its kind for India.
Chandrayan had been sending valuable data about Moon for the last 10 months and after having completed its job upto 95%, the spaceship last its contact with the ground. The scientists at ISRO were of the opinion that Chandrayan-1 is not a failure, as the photos and data sent by it are enough for further research on the Moon for the next two years.
The Director of NASA – Gim Green – has whole-heartedly praised the efforts of ISRO and Chandrayan-I saying “We are indebted to the Indian Space Research wing ISRO for providing authentic clues for existence of water in Moon through Chandrayan. All along the scientists were of the impression that Moon is a planet full of rocks and Chandrayan has dispelled this notion by its valuable discovery”. Within 15 days of its mission started, Chandrayan has sent photos of the Moon’s surface, which have been processed by NASA to prove the existence of water molecules.
Every Indian can be reasonably proud for this remarkable discovery of Chandrayan-I.
