India's Chandrayaan-3 conquers the moon
India's Chandrayaan-3 space mission landed on the moon's south pole at 6:04 p.m. Wednesday, taking India's space efforts a major step forward. The achievement elevates India to a prestigious group of four nations and solidifies its position as a pioneer in successfully landing on the unexplored lunar terrain.
This makes India the fourth country after the United States, China and the former Soviet Union to master the intricacies of soft lunar landing. Most importantly, no country has yet succeeded in landing on the difficult South Pole, where vital reserves of frozen water and precious elements are believed to be located. The recent instability that led to the crash of the Russian Luna-25, destined for the moon's south pole, underscores the difficulty of this endeavour.
Within four years, Chandrayaan-3 gently deposited its four-legged lander Vikram with the 26-kg rover Pragyan on the moon's southern polar region at 6:04 p.m. during its second lunar flight. ISRO scientists mastered the nerve-racking "20 minutes of terror" during the critical descent, which began at 5:44 p.m.
After the successful landing, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) quickly established a communications link between the lander and ISRO's Mission Operations Complex (MOX) in Bengaluru.
Following this success, ISRO released images captured by the Lander Horizontal Velocity Camera (LHVC) during its descent to the lunar surface. Amid the celebrations at MOX, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who watched the culmination of this space odyssey from South Africa, praised the scientists for their tireless efforts. He emphasized that India's triumph in lunar exploration is a step forward not only for the nation but for the entire world
