India on 23 August scripted history as ISRO’s ambitious third Moon mission Chandrayaan-3’s Lander Module touched down on the lunar surface, making it only the fourth country to accomplish the feat, and first to reach the uncharted south pole of Earth’s only natural satellite.
“Congratulations to India for its successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon,” said Congressman Brad Sherman, a senior Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Congressional India Caucus.
“ India is the first country to ever land a craft on this part of the lunar surface,” he said.
Chandrayaan-3’s landing site is also closer to the moon’s south pole than any other spacecraft in history has ventured. The south pole region is considered an area of key scientific and strategic interest for spacefaring nations, as scientists believe the region to be home to water ice deposits.
