Successful Landing Of Chandrayan 3

 India has arrived on the Moon with the successful landing of the Lander Module of Chandrayaan-3, the third lunar mission from ISRO. It is now the first nation to have set foot close to the Moon's south pole.

After the former USSR, the U.S., and China, India became the fourth nation to successfully make a soft landing on the lunar surface with the Lander Module (LM) of the Indian Space Research Organization's (ISRO) third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3, which was launched on July 14. "India's successful moon mission is not India's alone," PM Modi stated in a statement after congratulating the ISRO team of scientists.Our philosophy of "one earth, one family, one future" is resonating with people all around the world. The Moon mission is also built on a human-centric philosophy. This achievement therefore belongs to all of humanity.

Precisely at 6.03 p.m. the lander touched the lunar surface and there was euphoric celebrations at the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC), Bengaluru. In a few hours from now the Lander will deploy the Rover which will carry out in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course of its mobility. The Lander and the Rover with a mission life of one Lunar day (14 Earth days) have scientific payloads to carry out experiments on the lunar surface.
