1959 , Though it seems just a number, it's much more than that. On 13th Sept 1959, Soviet Union became the first nation to land its spacecraft on the surface of "The Moon". Since then, many nations have tried to reach Moon, but only a few could. Nations like Russia, China, US, Japan, UK and many more have spent Billions of Dollars but only few were successful. From all these expeditions one thing was clear, "The Earth's Mightiest" were ready to explore space.
When all these expeditions around the world was at it's full pace, a new Super Power was making it's way, " INDIA " . The Indian Space Agency ISRO was busy planning it's own that in time would shock the World.
