Chandrayaan-3 – India became the first country to land on the South Pole and 4th on the Moon

Chandrayan-3 mission has achieved a new milestone by landing its Lander on the Moon. It has made history in the space exploration industry. Landing on the South Pole region of the Moon is considered more challenging because it is the far side of the Moon where the conditions are harsh and communication with the Landers becomes difficult.

Since day one, ISRO chief S. Somanath has been optimistic about the Chandrayaan 3. In several interviews, S. Somanath has told the viewers that multiple changes have been made after the previous failures of the Chandrayaan 2 mission. He added that even if the instruments fail, there will be backup plans to ensure the lander reaches its destination safely.

With the success of the Chandrayaan-3, India has demonstrated to the world that we are ready to give fierce competition to the top space agencies in the world. The nation is fueling the economy with ambitious projects in all sectors. Space is one area where India has shown the world our strength in technology and manufacturing.

With the humble beginning of the Indian Space Research Organization in 1969, the country has reached the point where it can now challenge the status quo with its indigenously built space technology.

Soft landing on the Moon’s far side is challenging. The Russians attempted a soft landing a few days back, but their moon lander crashed on the moon’s surface after losing communication.
All the eyes were on India’s progress on the moon landing. Chandrayaan 3 has been on every news channel since its deployment. Finally, the Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft completed its final burn and touched down safely on the lunar surface around 8:34 a.m. ET.

It is a proud moment for India because the journey to the Moon was challenging. Indian scientists have demonstrated to the world that we can give tough competition to developed countries in the space race. ISRO’s achievement will open new doors in future space projects. Several private companies are hiring the ISRO to deploy their satellites in orbit. The numbers will increase, and ISRO will establish honored status in the space industry.

ISRO’s success rate in the world is highest among all other space agencies. Therefore, the government and private companies look for reliable solutions for space exploration.

Furthermore, The success of the ISRO will motivate youngsters to seek education in space exploration and engineering. Space exploration is a multi-trillion-dollar industry. Every milestone we achieve will boost us economically and make our nation great.

Fourth country to land on the Moon.

India is officially become the fourth country after Russia, the US, and China to land on the Moon. We are the first country to land on the lunar pole.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was attending the event through a live stream from South Africa. He is currently attending the 15th BRICS Summit of Emerging Markets. After the announcement of the success of the mission by ISRO Chief, the Primer minister greeted the nation and team at ISRO for the achievement.

Lander has an indigenously developed rover named Pragyan. The rover is designed to explore the Moon’s surface and take soil samples to inspect with its inbuilt laboratory.

Landing on the south pole of the Moon is an exciting place historically, scientifically, and geologically. The primary objective of the lander is to find the water on the Moon. During its mission, the lander will study the various aspects of the Moon, such as air, soil, and surrounding region, to understand how the moon functions. All the data recorded through the moon lander will be returned to the ISRO research station on Earth for further evaluation.

Discovery of the water on the south pole of the Moon will open the doorways for future exploration. As we know, water is crucial for the survival of humans on extraterrestrial bodies; once we have the confirmation of water on the Moon, the future space race will begin where all the countries will try to land their moon landers to explore space.

India is looking for ways to make space exploration more affordable. In a recent visit, Narendra Modi signed agreements with President Joe Biden to join the Artemis Accords to develop a joint venture between NASA and ISRO to send Indian-origin astronauts to the International Space Station.

ISRO is known for achieving the milestone of the lowest cost of space exploration. India never wants to be in the rat race. Instead, it is focusing on the affordability of the space technology. India has sent the satellites to Mars at the significantly lowest price tag, which was greatly appreciated by the foreign media. In the Chandrayaan 3 mission, India again demonstrated that they were not in the League of the Space competition. ISRO estimated the Chandrayaan 3 mission cost around $75 million.

India is on the verge of becoming a superpower in all sectors. Space is one of them where ISRO dominating the space launch with its success rate. We will see more such space missions in the future that will change the perspective of India on the global front.
