Washington: SpaceX founder Elon Musk congratulated Bengaluru-based space start-up GalaxEye on the successful launch of the Mission Drishti satellite.
"Congratulations," Musk said on X on Tuesday in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s post greeting GalaxEye on the launch of Mission Drishti.
Modi, in a post on X on Sunday, hailed the launch as a major achievement in India’s space journey and a reflection of the country’s growing innovation ecosystem.
The prime minister said the mission underscored the passion of India’s youth towards nation-building and technological advancement.
