Chandrayaan-3 Landing Live: India's Chandrayaan-3 has landed on the moon's south pole. 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.

The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the significant feat of making India the first nation to successfully land on South pole of the Moon.C.B. Ananthakrishnan, the CMD of the ...

Besides the scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation, officials at the European Space Agency are also involved in tracking the lander module of the Chandrayaan-3 mission which is minutes away from making a soft landing on the surface of the moon, a senior scientist said on Wednesday.

An entire nation waited, praying and hoping fervently, as the countdown to touch down on the moon wound to a slow close on Wednesday with many thousands gathering in schools, places of worship and elsewhere and scientists doing last minute checks to ensure Chandrayaan-3 makes a soft landing on the lunar south pole.

Chandrayaan-3 makes historic landing on Moons South Pole on August 23. The Lander Module of ISRO’s third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon sparked jubilant reactions from around the world

The Indian Space Research Organisation’s feat has made India the first country in the world to soft-land near the lunar south pole.

Soon after the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO said communication link was established between the Lander and the space agency's Mission Operations Complex (MOX) here.

According to ISRO, Lander and the Rover have five scientific payloads which have been placed inside the Lander Module (LM). Rovers Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) will be used to derive the chemical composition and infer mineralogical composition to further enhance the understanding of the lunar surface. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) will determine the elemental composition of the lunar soil and rocks around the Moons landing site.

India achieves a historic first by landing the Lander Module of Chandrayaan 3 on rough, cold and dark terrain of the South Pole of the Moon.
