Space Kidz India raised the Indian flag nearly 30 kilometres above the earth as part of the country's celebration of its 75th anniversary of independence. The flag was carried on a balloon and raised to a height of 1,06,000 feet above the surface of the globe. In order to commemorate the historic occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, which included the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav slogan and the event. Young scientists are being developed for India by Space Kidz India, a group that also educates kids about living in a borderless world. From the International Space Station, where astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti resides and works, messages have started arriving as India celebrates its Independence Day.
