India takes giant step to the Moon
India is planning to launch a locally built rocket as the country's first unmanned mission to the Moon next April, the head of the project said yesterday. Despite limited funding, the country's state-run Space Research Organisation operates an extensive space programme and intends to send an astronaut into space by 2014 and men to the moon by 2020.Posted by: Seafarious 2007-09-29 |
