Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing: ISRO’s mission can make history by being the first to land on the South Pole of the Moon. If all goes well, India could become only the fourth country to soft land on the moon.
Chandrayaan-3 Moon landing : The Chandrayaan-3 mission of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully landed after a 40-day journey that started from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. The Vikram lander made a soft landing on the Moon on August 23 at 6:04 PM IST.
ISRO started auto landing at 17:44 IST. The Vikram lander is now attempting a soft landing on the moon with the help of computers and logic. While ISTRAC controllers take care of it, the lander’s onboard systems do all the heavy lifting.
Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-up mission to the 2019 Chandrayaan-2 mission, which ended in a lunar surface collision when the Vikram lander was launched.The main goal of the mission is simple – to demonstrate the space agency’s ability to make a soft landing on the Moon. With the mission, India joined a small and exclusive club of countries that have successfully landed on the lunar surface. So far, the club has three members: the United States, the Soviet Union, and China.
