ISRO receives wishes from Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti for ‘Gaganyaan’ programme

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) received a video message from Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti wishing success to the country’s space agency on the “Gaganyaan” programme. The “Gaganyaan” programme is scheduled to launch in 2023, as the country marks its 75th anniversary of independent India.

Cristoforetti’s video was later shared by the Indian Ambassador to the United States, Taranjit Singh Sandhu. Retweeting the video, Sandhu said he was delighted to share it on the birth anniversary of Vikram Sarabhai, the father of India’s space program.
