After a 40-day journey starting from the Sathish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission has landed successfully.
The successful moon mission has made India the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface after the US, China, and the erstwhile Soviet Union.
“We have achieved soft landing on the moon. India is on the moon,” said Sreedhara Panicker Somanath, chairman of the ISRO.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it a “historic day.”
“Historic day for India’s space sector,” he wrote on the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter.
President of Congress Party and leader of the opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said that the success of Chandrayaan-3 was the “collective success of every Indian”.
“An elated nation with 140 crore aspirations witnessed today yet another achievement in its six-decade long space programme.”
