Lauding the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) over GSLV-F17's successful launch, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that the mission reflects the "excellence, innovation and growing capabilities" that define the space sector of India and will expand the country's entire space ecosystem.
In a post on micro-blogging platform X (formerly Twitter), the Prime Minister said the GSLV-F17's success is an "outstanding" achievement for ISRO and it highlights the increasing partnership between the space agency and the Indian industry.
"Yet another outstanding achievement by ISRO and a proud moment for our nation," he said. "The successful launch of GSLV-F17 carrying EOS-05, India’s first-ever imaging satellite from Geosynchronous orbit is a reflection of the excellence, innovation and growing capabilities that define India’s space sector."
"The growing partnership between ISRO and Indian industry is adding new strength and scale to our space programme and expanding India’s capabilities across the entire space ecosystem," the Prime Minister added.
