The Chandrayaan-3 made its historic touchdown on the surface of the moon last evening, fulfilling the hopes of 1.4 billion people and putting India into the elite space club.
Former National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Official Mike Gold has said Chandrayaan-3's success is a triumph of Indian innovation, human capital and the capabilities that will take India even further.
India has a busy decade of space exploration ahead. S. Somanath, the director of the Indian Space Research Organization, has described the current moment as an inflection point, as the country opens its space programs to private investors after a half-century of state monopoly that made advances but at "a shoestring budget mode of working."
'You declare a date, time and place for the landing two months in advance and exactly at that moment, it touched on the moon.'
Chandryaan-3 landed on the south pole of the Moon at 6:03 PM on Wednesday.
