New Delhi: “India is on the moon,” announced ISRO Chairman Somanath at the designated time of 6.04 pm on Wednesday as the ambitious Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved success.
The Vikram Lander touched down on the Moon’s south pole, making India only the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on lunar surface after the US, China, and erstwhile Soviet Union.
As scientists, dignitaries and every visitor applauded the big moment at ISRO, Prime Minister Narendra Modi watched the live telecast from South Africa, where he is attending the BRICS Summit.
Moments after the successful landing, the PM addressed the nation and hailed India’s great achievement.
