TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Hours before India’s ambitious lunar mission Chandrayaan-2’s soft landing on the surface of the moon, the Indian Space Research Organisation on Thursday posted a humorous message on Twitter featuring the spacecraft’s Lunar Orbiter extending good wishes to the Lander ahead of the historic moment.
“It was great travelling with you so far Vikram. Best of luck! I hope you reach the South Pole soon,” the Lunar Orbiter says while releasing Lander Vikram. To this Vikram replies, “It was quite the journey indeed! I’ll see you around — in the orbit.”
“We have the same wishes for Vikram, Orbiter. Want to stay in touch with Vikram and Pragyan as they make their way to the untouched lunar South Pole and uncover its many mysteries? Then keep an eye out for the next edition of CY2 Chronicles,” the ISRO tweeted.
