Bangalore. Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander touched the Moon’s surface on Wednesday evening. With this, India has created history.
India has become the fourth country to achieve this feat and the first country to reach the South Pole of Earth’s only natural satellite, which was untouched till now.Under this campaign, the vehicle made a successful ‘soft landing’ on the south pole region of the Moon, where no country had reached so far.
America, former Soviet Union and China have done ‘soft landing’ on the lunar surface, but their ‘soft landing’ did not happen on the south pole region of the moon.The Rs 600-crore Chandrayaan-3 mission of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was the space agency’s second attempt in four years to land a lander on the moon.
Now India has become the fourth country to master the technique of ‘soft-landing’ on the lunar surface after the US, China and the former Soviet Union.
