SPEAKER: Hon. Members, the Indian Scientists today have achieved another great landmark which has made the country proud when India’s first unmanned moon spacecraft – Chandrayaan-1 – embarked on a two-year mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota Andhra Pradesh, at about 6.22 a.m., on board the indigenously-built rocket, PSLV-C11. I made it a point to get up and saw it. It is very exhilarating to see that wonderful launch. This historic event marks India’s entry into select band of lunar explorer countries and its growing stature as an emerging space power. Let us on this occasion join together to congratulate Dr. G. Madhavan Nair, Chairman ISRO and his dedicated team of Scientists and Technicians whose untiring efforts have made this possible. We wish them further and further glorious successes. Hon. Members, Indian cricket team’s emphatic 320 run victory, their biggest ever against the visiting Australian team at Mohali, Punjab yesterday, is a matter of great pride and joy for all of us. Let us compliment the splendid performance by the Indian Team and wish them all success in their ongoing test series and forthcoming One Day International Matches.
