Laureates Award was presented to ISRO for its achievements in the historic Chandrayaan-3 mission.
Sripriya Ranganathan, Deputy Ambassador at the Indian Embassy in the US, received the award on behalf of ISRO.
The Aviation Week Laureates Award is known for recognizing exceptional achievements within the aerospace industry.
With a cost of a modest $75 million, this mission achieved a historic milestone by making a successful landing at the lunar South Pole.
Chandrayaan-3 confirmed the presence of water in this region, a discovery that has profound implications for future lunar exploration and the possibility of sustaining life on the Moon.
The recognition by Aviation Week reflects international appreciation and respect for ISRO’s contribution to space exploration.
Earlier, the Leif Erikson Lunar Prize was given to ISRO from the Husavik Museum for its unwavering commitment and significant contribution to lunar exploration.
