India's Chandrayaan-3 space probe has achieved a historic feat by landing on the lunar surface, becoming the first Indian mission to do so. The probe, which was launched in July 2023, carried a lander and a rover that will explore the south polar region of the Moon, where water ice is believed to exist. The landing was a challenging maneuver that required precise navigation and control, as well as overcoming the harsh environment and communication delays. The probe successfully touched down at 4:18 p.m. IST on August 23, 2023, after a 15-minute powered descent. The lander then deployed the rover, named Pragyan, which will roam around the landing site for 14 Earth days, collecting data and images. The mission aims to study the lunar geology, mineralogy, topography, and exosphere, as well as to demonstrate India's technological capabilities in space exploration. Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-up to the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which attempted a similar landing in 2019 but failed due to a technical glitch. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has overcome the setback and achieved a remarkable success with Chandrayaan-3, making India the fourth country in the world to land a spacecraft on the Moon, after the US, Russia, and China. The mission has also received global recognition and support from various space agencies and organizations. Chandrayaan-3 is a milestone for India's space program and a source of inspiration for future generations of scientists and explorers.
