Chandrayaan-3 Touches Down on Moon’s Southern Hemisphere

In a remarkable leap for India’s space exploration endeavors, Chandrayaan-3, the latest iteration of the country’s lunar mission, has gracefully touched down on the lunar surface. This success comes after a setback in 2019 with its predecessor. The historic landing, meticulously executed over a month since its launch, positions India as the fourth nation worldwide to achieve a gentle lunar landing. Distinguishing itself, India also becomes the first country to master the lunar south pole landing, a critical site that promises insights into lunar atmospheric conditions and offers a gateway to forthcoming space exploration initiatives.

ISRO chairman S. Somanath applauded the monumental achievement, attributing it to the combined dedication of scientists, engineers, staff, and industries spanning ISRO and other institutions. Unlike Russia’s recent lunar mission mishap, where the Luna-25 spacecraft lost contact and crashed into the moon, India’s Chandrayaan-3 has solidified its position as a frontrunner in space exploration.

Chandrayaan-3’s launch occurred on July 14 through the “Launch Vehicle Mark-III” from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Designed with a budget under $75 million, the spacecraft includes a propulsion module, a lander, and a rover, collectively equipped with seven scientific instruments. Its purpose encompasses showcasing safe landing techniques, scientific experimentation, and on-ground roving.

Distinct improvements in sensors, software, and propulsion systems have been integrated into Chandrayaan-3’s lander, addressing past challenges and ensuring an enhanced level of ruggedness for a triumphant landing. Scientific experiments, ranging from seismic vibrations and near-surface plasma to thermal conductivity and elemental composition, are part of the mission’s ambitious objectives.

The triumph holds even greater significance as it precedes the U.S.’s Artemis III crew mission set to launch in 2025, spotlighting the importance of India’s contributions in understanding the lunar surface before human expeditions.
