India’s Earth Sciences Minister Shri Kiren Rijiju had earlier this week said that once operational, the submersible will carry 3 people to a depth of 6 km in a mission called “Samudrayaan”, also confirming that We are sure that this journey will not disturb the marine ecosystem.
Details about the deep-sea mission were announced soon after India’s spacecraft successfully landed near the moon’s south pole on August 23.
With this achievement, India became the fourth country in the world to send a spacecraft to land on the Moon.
On September 2, the country successfully launched the Aditya-L1 spacecraft on its first solar research mission.
