Chandrayaan-3 Achieves Successful Moon Landing: India Makes History with First-Ever South Pole Lunar Landing. Prime Minister Modi Extends Congratulations to the Nation and Space Scientists for this Remarkable Accomplishment.
Chandrayaan-3’s First Message After Landing On The Moon:
‘I reached my destination and you too!’: Chandrayaan-3
Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon. Congratulations, India!
Chandrayaan-3’s Moon Landing Declared a Success: India Achieves Landmark by Landing at Lunar South Pole. Prime Minister Modi Commends Indian Citizens and Space Scientists, Proclaiming, “India Will Cherish This Day Forever.”
The true trial of the mission unfolded during its final landing phase. Approximately 20 minutes prior to touchdown, ISRO executed the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS), which empowered the Vikram LM to assume control. Leveraging its onboard computers and logic, the Vikram LM adeptly pinpointed a favorable location and executed a gentle lunar surface landing.
Experts emphasize that the conclusive 15 to 20 minutes were of paramount importance in the mission’s triumph as Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander meticulously descended for its soft landing. The nation and the global community joined in prayer for Chandrayaan-3’s triumphant landing today.
Drawing from the history of India’s prior lunar mission, which encountered setbacks during its final moments before landing, ISRO approached the process with heightened caution this time around. Given the precarious nature of the spacecraft’s circumstances minutes before lunar touchdown, this timeframe has been widely termed as the “20 or 17 minutes of terror.” Throughout this phase, the operation transitioned into full autonomy, with the Vikram lander independently igniting its engines at precise timings and altitudes.
