Indian Private Moon Mission

When the Indian Space Research Organization's (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission landed on the moon, more than 8 million people tuned in for the event's YouTube live-stream - a record for the site.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will turn its focus on science experiments in 2023 with dedicated missions to the Sun - Aditya - and the moon - Chandrayaan-3 - even as the nascent start-up sector is set to soar in the space applications segment.

Team Indus, a private company that hoped to reach the moon by December 31 this year, has dropped out of the global race for the Google Lunar X Prize. Team Indus was competing for the $35 million prize money, for which five teams from across the world are in fray.

TeamIndus is the only Indian team competing for the $30 million prize that requires privately funded teams to land their spacecraft on the surface of the moon.

The mission is called HarIndianKaMoonshot. A group called TeamIndus is working away to be the first privately funded group to land on the moon and send a robot to travel at least 500 metres on the moon surface and send back high-quality images to Earth.

It may be just one step for a small startup, but it is a giant leap for India's space program. Team Indus, a private company that wants to be the country's first to send a rover to the moon and plant the flag Indian flag on its surface on Republic Day January 26, 2018, has bought a ticket aboard a 320-ton giant rocket, bringing it closer to its goa...

In a first, the Federal Aviation Administration has given license to a private US company, co-founded by an Indian American, to launch a spacecraft and land on moon in 2017.

Rahul Narayan, who describes himself as a serial entrepreneur, is the founder of Team Indus. It is the only Indian team in a race to the moon by privately funded groups competing for the largest international incentive prize of all time - the Google Lunar X Prize.
