Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday extended greeting to citizens on the National Space Day, and said the country has scripted indelible history by embossing its "civilisational signature" on the surface of the Moon.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the celebration of the National Space Day last year following India's success in landing its first spacecraft on the moon on this day with the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

"On #NationalSpaceDay, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all citizens and congratulate the brilliant minds who proved Bharat's dominance in space through the successful touchdown of Chandrayaan on the Moon's South Pole," Shah wrote on 'X'.
