First Ever Lunar Landing on South Pole: India Makes History, PM Modi Applauds Team

Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing Successful –  August-23, 2023                              India has etched its name in history by becoming the first nation to successfully achieve a lunar landing on the South Pole. Prime Minister Modi extended heartfelt congratulations to the people of India and the dedicated team of space scientists behind this remarkable feat. PM Modi emphasized that this achievement would forever remain ingrained in India’s collective memory.

The ultimate trial of the mission unfolded during the final phase of the landing. Approximately 20 minutes before touchdown, ISRO initiated the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS). This pivotal step empowered the Vikram Lunar Module (LM) to assume control, utilizing its onboard computing systems and algorithms to pinpoint an optimal landing site and execute a gentle touchdown on the lunar surface.

Experts underscore the critical significance of the mission’s last 15 to 20 minutes, during which Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander meticulously descended to accomplish its soft landing. With fervent prayers from Indians across the nation and around the globe, the hopes for the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 were fervently shared.
