K. Radhakrishnan, who has been appointed Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation, said on Saturday that by 2015 India would be ready for a manned moon mission.

Work on Chandrayaan-II was progressing. Efforts would be made to take the benefits of space research to the common man, he told journalists here.

Mr. Radhakrishnan received his appointment order while he was at the Sree Krishna Temple. The fax message was received at the devaswom board office in the evening. He had darshan and offered ‘thulabharam’ at the temple.
