ISRO is preparing to launch a next-generation communication satellite on December 24 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
Ahead of a crucial upcoming mission, the launch team of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) visited the Tirumala Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh to seek blessings from Lord Venkateswara.
ISRO Chairman Dr V Narayanan, along with senior scientists, offered prayers at the hill shrine as part of the space agency’s long-standing tradition of invoking divine grace before major launches. The team participated in temple rituals and prayed for the success of the mission, continuing a practice that ISRO scientists have followed for decades ahead of every key launch
