Kerala Chief Minister Mr VD Satheesan shared in a Social Media post:

A truly historic milestone for Keralam.

Heartiest congratulations to Dr Anil Menon, rooted in Ottapalam, as he journeys to the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-29 for Expedition 74.

His mission to conduct pioneering research on semiconductor crystals and medicine is a true testament to human excellence.

The entire Malayali community stands together in extending our collective prayers and best wishes for a safe and successful mission.
