Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama has congratulated India on Chandrayaan-3s successful landing on the moon.
In a heartfelt message, Lama expressed his admiration for the dedication and scientific prowess demonstrated by the Indian Scientific Research Organisation (ISRO) and its team.
The successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a tribute to the people of India who have devoted their attention to scientific development since ancient times, he was quoted as saying by Phayul.
After the successful soft-landing of Indias lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 on the South Polar region of the Moon on Wednesday, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is now eyeing to study the Sun.
The Aditya-L1, Indias first space observatory for solar research, is getting ready for launch in Sriharikota, and the ISRO is expected to make an announcement on the same next week.
The launch is expected to take place in the first week of September, with the space agency targetting a September 2 launch.
Aditya-L1 spacecraft has been designed to provide remote observations of the solar corona and study the solar atmosphere.
The spacecraft will extensively study the solar winds, which can cause disturbance on Earth and are commonly seen as auroras.
