Leif Erikson Lunar Prize awarded to ISRO for Chandrayaan-3 advancements

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been awarded the Leif Erikson Lunar Prize by the Husavik Museum in Reykjavik. Indian Ambassador Balasubramanian Shyam received the prestigious prize on behalf of ISRO. The award recognizes ISRO's dedication to lunar exploration and contribution to understanding celestial mysteries through the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission. Chandrayaan-3 achieved a historic milestone by successfully landing on the moon's South Pole, making India the fourth nation to do so. The mission also showcased India's technological prowess and redeemed the disappointment of the Chandrayaan-2 crash landing.
