In a historic achievement, India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully landed near the Moon’s challenging south pole, becoming the first nation to do so and fourth nation to achieve a controlled lunar landing. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) celebrated this triumph after a previous unsuccessful attempt in 2019. Chandrayaan-3, launched in July, carried a landing module with a robotic rover named Pragyan. This feat boosts India’s global scientific and technological standing, inspiring further lunar and interplanetary missions. The lunar south pole’s significance lies in the potential presence of water ice and insights into the early Solar System. India’s success may catalyze international collaboration and investment in the private space sector, fueling innovation across various domains.
