About Chandrayaan-3
Chandrayaan-3 is India’s third moon mission and is a follow up of Chandrayaan-2 that failed to land on moon in 2019. The Chandrayaan-3 mission lifted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh on July 14. On August 5, the spacecraft was successfully inserted into lunar orbit. Today, on August 23, it made a powered descent and landed on the lunar surface without a hitch. With this, India also became the first nation to land on the moon’s south pole. How are you celebrating this historic moment of India’s space journey?
