Chandrayaan-3’s triumphant landing on the lunar surface marked a historic moment for India, propelling it into the esteemed group of nations that have achieved lunar missions. Emerging as the fourth country to successfully deploy a rover on the moon, following in the footsteps of USSR/Russia, the United States, and China, India distinguished itself as the first to accomplish a landing near the Moon’s South Poleโa particularly significant location due to the presence of water traces.
Amid resounding cheers at the ISRO center in Bengaluru, the touchdown occurred at 6.04 pm, capturing the nation’s fervor and uniting citizens in celebration. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, though in South Africa for the BRICS Summit, virtually connected to extend his congratulations and appreciation to the ISRO team.
The live broadcast commenced at 5.20 pm, chronicling the four distinct stages that led to the momentous landing. As Vikram advanced through each phase, ISRO officials in the mission control room shared in the triumph with every successful step.
