After the Moon, India Launches Rocket to Study the Sun
(Reuters) – Following quickly on the success of India’s moon landing, the country’s space agency launched a rocket on Saturday to study the sun in its first such solar mission.
The rocket left a trail of smoke and fire as scientists clapped, a live broadcast on the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) website showed.
India’s space agency on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, later said the satellite was now in orbit.
