On Wednesday,23-Aug 2023 India achieved a remarkable feat by successfully landing a spacecraft in the uncharted territory near the Moon's south pole. This significant accomplishment holds the promise of uncovering vital reserves of frozen water and precious elements, further solidifying India's advancing capabilities in space and technology.
At precisely 6:04 local time, a lander carrying a rover safely touched down on the lunar surface, eliciting cheers and applause from the team of space scientists in Bengaluru, a city located in southern India. This achievement comes after a previous unsuccessful attempt nearly four years ago, making India the first nation to accomplish a landing near the relatively unexplored south pole region. In doing so, India joins the ranks of the United States, the Soviet Union, and China as one of the few countries to achieve a successful moon landing.
Chandrayaan 3 marks a significant achievement for India, and today's date will forever be celebrated as a milestone in our success with this project."
