India’s first Space Capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE-1) has successfully returned to earth after 11 days orbiting the earth, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said.
ISRO chief Madhavan Nair said it was a key step in India’s plan to send an unmanned mission to the moon in 2008. The test’s success also paves the way for future manned missions, he said.
With the success of the experiment India joined the select club of nations - the US, France, Russia, China and Japan - who have mastered the technology.
