Launched on July 14, the Lander Module of the Indian Space Research Organisation's Chandrayaan-3 exhibited a triumphant landing on August 23. This achievement makes India the fourth country, following the Soviet Union, the United States, and China, to perform a gentle landing on the lunar surface. Prime Minister Modi extended his congratulations to the dedicated team of scientists at ISRO, emphasizing that this achievement symbolizes a global effort aligned with the principle of unity among all humanity.

Precisely at 6.03 p.m., the Lander made contact with the lunar surface, sparking jubilant celebrations at the Mission Operations Complex in ISRO's Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network in Bengaluru. Subsequently, the Lander effectively deployed the Rover, tasked with conducting on-site chemical analyses of the lunar terrain while traversing the landscape. Both the Lander and the Rover, designed for a one Lunar day mission (equivalent to 14 Earth days), carry scientific instruments to conduct experiments on the moon's surface. This achievement reinforces India's commitment to advancing space exploration and contributing to global scientific endeavors.
