Successful landing of Indian spacecraft on South Pole of Moon
India's spacecraft Chandrayaan-3 has successfully landed on the moon after overcoming all fears. Chandrayaan-3's lander 'Vikram' landed on the South Pole of the Moon at 6:04 PM local time on Wednesday, Wednesday. Through this, India has joined the list of countries that have landed spacecraft on the moon.
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) broadcast live the landing of Chandrayaan-3. Millions of people witnessed this broadcast. All schools in the country are kept open on this occasion. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in South Africa for the BRICS summit, joined ISRO's organization virtually.
The region of the moon where Chandrayaan-3 landed has water ice or frozen ice. In addition to water, the space could also be a source of oxygen and fuel, which could support further lunar missions or permanent lunar settlements in the future.
India made history with the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3, which managed to reach the mysterious South Pole of the Moon for the first time.
Earlier, the former Soviet Union, the United States and China have successfully landed spacecraft on the moon. Now the name of India has joined them as the fourth country.
Around the same time, Russia sent the Luna-25 spacecraft to land on the Moon's south pole. However, the Russian spacecraft crashed on the moon last Saturday. This resulted in the failure of Russia's first lunar mission in 47 years.
In 2019, India sent Chandrayaan-2 to land near the South Pole of the Moon. But the campaign failed.
Chandrayaan-3 was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, India on July 14. The lander of Chandrayaan-3 is named 'Vikram', the rover is named 'Pragyan'. The lander is about 2 meters in height and weighs more than 1,700 kg. Small rover weighs only 26 kg. This rover will carry out scientific research by going around the chest of the moon.
