'An Indian will be on the moon by 2025'

By 2025 an Indian might unfurl the national flag on the lunar surface. ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) has a plan to send an
Indian to space by an indigenously developed space craft by 2015. "If the mission gets successful, there will be an Indian flag on the moon's surface by 2025," said SK Shivakumar, director, ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), Bangalore, on Saturday. Shivakumar was delivering a lecture at the regional science centre on `Chandrayaan' mission as part of the on-going Science Expo-2009. He also shared with the audience that after the successful launching of Chandrayaan-1 mission, Chandrayaan-2 mission would be launched by sending a lunar space craft with land-rover to do in-situ experiment on moon's surface. He also informed the students that there were plenty of opportunities in space science. "Students who qualify for the IITs and are enlisted in IIT list may opt for a B-Tech from the Indian Institute of Space Science at Trivandram. ISRO bears all the expenditure for the course and also absorbs space scientists in the organisation," he said. India has already carved a niche for itself in space science as Chandrayaan mission was carried out on a little budget compared to the lunar missions of the other nations.
