India created history with Chandrayaan 3 safely landed on the moon thus making the nation the first in the world to land on the Moon’s South Pole. It is well known that the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3, the Lunar Module was launched successfully on July 14th and it successfully landed on the Moon’s South Pole on August 23rd. India is now the fourth country after the erstwhile USSR, USA, and China to make a soft landing on the lunar surface.
