On August 23, 2023, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully landed on the Moon's south pole. This was a major achievement for India's space program, and it marked a significant milestone in the exploration of our lunar neighbor.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission was launched on July 14, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India. The mission consisted of a lunar orbiter, a lander, and a rover. The orbiter is currently collecting data on the lunar surface, while the lander and rover are still on the surface.
The lander, named Vikram, successfully touched down on the Moon's south pole at 6:04 p.m. IST. The rover, named Pragyan, was deployed from the lander on August 24, 2023.
The landing on the Moon's south pole is a major achievement for India. The South Pole is a region that has never been explored before, and it is thought to contain water ice. Water ice could be a valuable resource for future human exploration of the Moon.
The successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a major triumph for India's space program. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of India's scientists and engineers.
