Chandrayaan-3 has successfullysoft-landed on the moon 🌖!.Congratulations, India🇮🇳!#Chandrayaan_3#Ch3— ISRO (@isro) August 23, 2023

India achieved this historic milestone after the lander module (LM) of Chandrayaan-3 made a touchdown on the lunar surface at 6.04 pm. This achievement marks India's entry into an elite group of nations that have touched the lunar surface. Till now, only the US, Russia (erstwhile USSR) and China have achieved this remarkable feat.

Notably, India has also secured the distinction of being the first nation to reach the previously uncharted south pole of the Moon, after Russia Luna 26 mission failed to achieve its intended result recently.
