Around 70 students from across the country will be watching live India's proposed soft landing on the moon in the early hours of Saturday, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Two top scoring students in ISRO's online space quiz contest from each State and Union territory have been invited by the space agency to watch at its centre here the landing of Chandrayaan-2's "Vikram" module on the Moon.

"...about 70 students in total. They will be watching the landing live along with Prime Minister," a senior ISRO official told PTI.

To increase awareness about the space programme, an online quiz competition was conducted by Bengaluru-headquartered ISRO in coordination with MyGov.in from August 10 to 25.

The criteria for selecting successful winners was "maximum correct answers in the shortest time."
