Isro looks for a name to stamp on lunar surface after Chandrayaan-2 mission lands on Moon

Chandrayaan 2 updates: ISRO successfully launched its Mooncraft on July 22 onboard the giant rocket GSLV Mk III Mk III Mk III M-1 as promised by the ISRO chief K Sivan. The launch was smooth and hassle-free and has propelled the Chandrayaan 2 spacecraft on its way to the Moon’s south polar region to find water based on the findings of its first lunar mission Chandrayaan 1.

Among the extraordinary people of ISRO who made this launch possible is a brilliant scientist, ‘Chandrakanta Kumar’, who has his own inspirational story. Hailing from Hoogly’s Shibpur Village, in West Bengal, he was born in Mudhusudhan Kumar’s family. Kumar is a framer. Chandrakanta was to be named Suryakanta.

His father said that the kid’s teacher advised them to name him otherwise, and thus he was named as Chandrakanta. The role of this kid, who grew to be a scientist at ISRO in lunch of Chandrayaan 2, is notable.
