Chandrayaan-3 landing spot to be named Shiv Shakti, says PM Modi

There is a scientific tradition of naming the location of a touchdown. India has decided to name the region where Chandrayaan-3 landed. "In Shiv, there is resolution for the welfare of humanity and Shakti gives us strength to fulfil those resolutions. This Shiv Shakti point of the moon also gives a sense of connection with Himalayas to Kanyakumari," Prime Minister Modi said while addressing Team ISRO at the space agency's Telemetry Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC).
