“India is on the moon,” said Wednesday, August 23, the head of the Indian space agency, following his country successfully landed the Chandrayaan-3 rocket (with its Vikram module). By placing a spacecraft on the Moon, India has joined the very select club of nations that have managed to successfully carry out such an operation. So far, only Russia (at the time of the USSR), the United States and China have managed a controlled landing on the lunar surface.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called August 23 a “ historic day “. Does the Moon represent a new geopolitical issue? And what place for Africa in this space conquest? Senegalese astronomer Maram Kairé, director general of the Senegalese Agency for Space Studies, is the guest of Christina Okello this Sunday.
