FICCI congratulates ISRO on the successful launch of Chandrayaan-2

NEW DELHI: FICCI President Sandip Somany, today congratulated the ISRO family on the successful launch of the Chandrayaan 2 spacecraft into the Earth Orbit by the GSLVMkIII-M1.

Somany said, “This success adds further-more to the credentials of our space scientists’ fraternity, who have time and again successfully delivered critical missions with far less the cost than similar international ones, making the nation proud.”

“Indian industry is fortunate to have been associated with ISRO both on the Launch Vehicle and spacecraft programmes, including the complex Chandrayaan 2 mission. I am sure, ISRO will continue to hand-hold industry, and further engage the big, medium and small ones in their further strides,” said Somany.

FICCI would like to wish ISRO the very best for the next stage of the mission i.e. demonstrate the ability to soft-land on the lunar surface and operate a robotic rover on the surface of the moon.
