India's Chandrayaan-3 creates history; Becomes first spacecraft to soft-land on moon | Oneindia News
India has finally achieved what no other nations have. The third lunar mission of India made a successful historic landing on the southern polar region of the lunar surface just a while back. With this momentous and successful landing, India has now become the only country in the world to have soft-landed on the moon’s southern polar region. The entire country is beaming with pride and jubilation post this tremendous feat by ISRO. No human missions so far, including the human Moon missions of the United States, have been able to take any spacecraft to the South Pole. Previous moon landings have primarily occurred in the equatorial region, with only a few degrees of latitude north or south of the lunar equator. Infact, just a few days back, the Luna-25 spacecraft of Russia had failed to achieve soft-landing on moon due to a technical glitch and had eventually crashed. Earlier, ISRO chairman S Somanath had said that Vikram, the lander, will be able to make a soft-landing on the Moon's surface even if all the sensors and two of its engines did not work and that the entire design of the lander was made in a manner that made sure it would be able to handle failures.
