When did India celebrate the first National Space Day with the theme 'Touching Lives While Touching the Moon: India's Space Saga'?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> 22 October 2008 marks the launch of Chandrayaan-1, India's first lunar mission, but National Space Day was not established at this time.

Option 2 -> 22 July 2019 is when Chandrayaan-2 was launched, another significant space milestone, but not when National Space Day was celebrated.

Option 3 -> 23 September 2023 does not correspond to any major Indian space achievement or the establishment of National Space Day.

Option 4 -> 23 August 2024 marks the first National Space Day, commemorating the one-year anniversary of Chandrayaan-3's successful lunar landing on 23 August 2023.


Hence, Option 4: 23 August 2024 -> India declared 23 August as National Space Day to commemorate the historic achievement of Chandrayaan-3's successful landing on the Moon's south polar region on 23 August 2023. The first celebration with the theme "Touching Lives While Touching the Moon: India's Space Saga" took place on 23 August 2024, marking the one-year anniversary of this landmark mission -> correct
