Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the ISRO space centre early Saturday to watch India land near the moon's south pole, with its lander Vikram carrying the lunar rover Pragyan, an official said.
"Modi drove from a nearby star hotel where he is staying overnight to the space agency's telemetry, tracking and command network (Istrac) to witness the historic event, with about 800 scientists and engineers of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) working over the last 46 days to accomplish the country's ambitious Chandrayaan-2 mission," the official told IANS.
Modi was welcomed at the centre by ISRO chief K. Sivan and other top officials.
This is the second time Modi is witnessing an inter-planetary mission in 5 years at Istrac after watching India enter the Martian orbit in its first attempt on September 24, 2014 following a nine-month voyage by the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) or Mangalyaan to the red planet.
