New Delhi: Four months after India’s successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been awarded the Leif Erikson Lunar Prize by the Husavik Museum.
The prestigious award — named after the iconic Norse explorer — has been conferred by the Iceland museum in recognition of ISRO’s commitment and contributions to lunar exploration.
India’s latest lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 made history on August 23, 2023 when it successfully landed near the Moon’s South Pole, making India the first country to accomplish this feat.
India’s Ambassador to Iceland Balasubramanian Shyam received the prize on behalf of ISRO.
ISRO Chairman S Somanath expressed his gratitude to the Husavik Museum for the honour bestowed upon the Indian space agency.
