Identifying India as a 'big partner' of the US space programme, NASA has applauded the country's efforts in using its space missions for "societal needs." "I think it's 85 per cent of their budget is spent on what they call societal needs. It's earth science, climate change, those kinds of things, and they still insist that they're going to bring about a human space flight programme, you know, by 2020 or so," NASA Administrator Charles F Bolden said.
The precise location of the spacecraft in the lunar highlands has yet to be determined.

Using data collected by India's Chandrayan mission, NASA has detected magmatic water locked under the surface of the Moon.
NASA has confirmed its New Horizons probe worked flawlessly on its flight past Pluto.
The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer or Ladee spacecraft, which is charged with studying the lunar atmosphere and dust, soared aboard an unmanned Minotaur rocket a little before midnight from from Wallops Island.
"We have been able to detect NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and the Indian Space Research Organisation's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft in lunar orbit with ground-based radar," said Marina Brozovic, a radar scientist at JPL and principal investigator for the test project.
The details of the transition from defined rays in the corona, the Sun's upper atmosphere, to the solar wind have been, until now, a mystery.
'Two nations would continue to pursue shared interests in space that includes collaboration on safety and security in space'
An analysis of rock samples collected by the Curiosity rover indicates that Mars could have supported living microbes, the American space agency NASA has said.
Members of the International Space Station Expedition 44 crew are undertaking a first for humanity: tucking into greens grown right there on the space station, in zero-gravity.
The space agency officials said that its operations were not interrupted by the incident. NASA employees watched the drama on television as they were locked down.
