The flawless and historic soft-landing of India’s Chandrayaan 3 lander on the Moon on August 23 has enhanced the already formidable reputation of the Indian Space Research Organization or ISRO around the world.

In naming the lander Vikram, ISRO has paid a glorious tribute to Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the pioneer of India’s space program and a great institution builder apart from being a highly regarded scientist.
