India has scripted history on Wednesday as the country after the Indian Space Research Organisation's Chandrayaan-3 soft-landed near the Moon’s south pole, an uncharted territory that scientists believe could hold vital reserves of frozen water and precious elements, as the country cements its growing prowess in space and technology. Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the lunar surface at 6:04 local time, and India became the first country to successfully soft-land on the uncharted moon's south pole. India also becomes the fourth country, after Russia, the U.S., and China to soft-land on the Moon.
“Chandrayaan-3 Mission: 'India, I reached my destination and you too!': Chandrayaan-3," posted ISRO on the microblogging site X.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and its team for the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon.The PM Modi watched the landing live from Johannesburg said, "I congratulate the ISRO team and scientists from the core of my heart for this accomplishment. It's a historic moment for us as Chandrayaan-3 lands on the Moon. I am in South Africa but like all Indians, my heart has sunk in the celebrations of Chandrayaan-3. Usually we would say, Chanda Maama Door Ke (Moon is far) but the future generation will say Chandra Maama Tour Ke (Moon is for a tour). Our mission is based on the same human-centric approach. This success belongs to humanity. I am confident all countries in the world are capable of achieving such feats."
