India created history! ISRO successfully launches Chandrayaan-3 mission, set to become fourth country to land on Moon

Finally, the day we’ve all been waiting for has arrived! After a wait of four years, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 moon mission. The launch was carried out at 2:35 pm at Sriharikota using the powerful GSLV Mark III rocket, also known as the ‘Bahubali’ rocket.

If all goes according to plan, India will have achieved a significant milestone. If successful, India will become the fourth country to land on the Moon, and we will be the first to land on the South Pole of the Moon.

Chandrayaan-3, India’s third lunar mission, involves the use of an indigenously developed Lander Module (LM), Propulsion Module (PM) and a Rover to test and demonstrate new technologies required for future interplanetary missions .

Unfortunately, India’s ambitious second lunar mission, Chandrayaan 2, has suffered a heartbreaking setback. On 7 September, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) lost contact with the mission’s lander Vikram, ending the mission in a tragic way.

Achieving a soft landing on the Moon is a complex task, and the potential for failure, although relatively small, still exists. However, it is necessary to emphasize the possible consequences of complete success.

In the backdrop of India’s decision to join the Artemis accords, this mission assumes significant importance. If successful, India will become the second country under the agreement to soft-land a rover on the Moon.
