Tense and unforgettable moments of togetherness…

Hearty Congrats ISRO!! 😍 🌛 This is beyond India, for the whole of humanity as one family 🤗


There are some pictures floating around on social media, eg this one. At first glance I thought it was an actual photo taken by one of the cameras, but of course though its a lovely pic, purely in the interest of science, which is the foundation of ISRO, there’s one question that came to mind… would a flag flutter on the moon?

I had forgotten actually… and re-learnt it with a net search…

The Moon doesn’t have a significant atmosphere like Earth, it does not experience weather, like wind or atmospheric temperature or precipitation like rain and snow.

First photo of Rover coming out of the ramp…

Will be printing the Ashoka Emblem of 4 Lions, and the ISRO logo in its tracks. These tracks will stay for a while… since there isn’t much wind on the moon!

Looking forward to further learnings from ISRO! !
