With the victorious touchdown of the Vikram lander on the far side of the Moon on Wednesday, India became the first nation in the world to accomplish the feat. Millions of people across the world watched in real time as the lander, which was named as the Father of India’s space mission, planted its foot on the Moon at 6:04 pm.
As soon as Chandrayaan-3 (Indian Space Mission) landed on the moon, mentioned to its nation, “India, I reached my destination and you too!”
ISRO announced the mission’s success on X, Previously named (Twitter) writing, “Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon.”
In the past 15 years, India has sent three lunar missions. Two faced debacles. The Chandrayaan 3 successfully made its soft landing on the moon.
This occurs four years after Chandrayaan-2’s lander crashed just before landing, preventing India’s Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) from successfully landing on the Moon.
On July 14, the Chandrayaan-3 mission was launched from Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota. The ISRO spacecraft kept up its orbit-raising efforts until August 4. Chandrayaan-3 entered lunar orbit on August 5.
The lander module and propulsion module were successfully detached on August 16. Chandrayaan-3 first made contact with Chandrayaan-2 on August 21. Chandrayaan-2 responded, “Welcome, buddy!”
Chandrayaan-1 & 2 Mission Dates Back:
India’s first lunar mission, Chandrayaan-1, was launched on October 22, 2008, from the Andhra Pradesh-based Sriharikota Spaceport.
The spacecraft, which was equipped with 11 scientific equipment made in India, the USA, the UK, Germany, Sweden, and Bulgaria, orbited the Moon at a distance of 100 km from the surface in order to map the Moon’s chemical composition, mineral composition, and geochemical composition.
The orbit was boosted to 200 kilometres in May 2009 following the accomplishment of all the primary mission goals. More than 3,400 orbits around the Moon were completed by the spacecraft.
On July 22, 2019, Chandrayaan-2, which included an orbiter, lander, and rover, was successfully launched ten years later.
