A satellite called Satish Dhawan Satellite, or SD SAT, will be launched to space at the end of the month by the polar satellite launch vehicle (PSLV) and it has some interesting things it's carrying.

Reportedly, the satellite will carry a copy of Bhagavad Gita, a picture of PM Narendra Modi, and the names of 25,000 individuals.

Looks like the government is ready to bring BJP to space as well now, so amazing.

The reasoning behind the inclusion of Bhagavad Gita is that similar space missions have carried holy books like The Bible. 

Moreover, explaining the picture of PM Modi, Dr Kesan said, "We have also added the name and photograph of the Prime Minister on the top panel with the words Atmanirbhar mission. This satellite has been completely developed and fabricated in India, including the electronics and circuitry."

Lastly, Dr Kesan added, "We are conducting last-minute checks before sending over the satellite. We had to re-do the solar panel on the satellites after testing at ISRO because there was a problem with the resin and there was bulge on a few cells. But it was thought that the entire thing might ooze out in space in two to three days."

People are understandably confused about PM Modi's picture being sent to space in a satellite.

This is something which grabbed my attention
I am still wondering that how inclusion of religion or Modi's photo is going to help satellite..
It's bizzare to see their scientific knowledge..🤦🏻

There are some suggestions.

Why only the photo, why not the man himself. He is very much available.
