Chandrayaan-3 : India on the Moon

On 23 August 2023, India scripted history as Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moons South

Pole. India became the first and only country to reach this remote lunar region, a milestone that

has elevated India to the ranks of the United States (US), Russia and China-the only three other

nations that have reached the moon. But these were not the only records Indian Space Research

Organisation (ISRO) made that day; it also garnered over 8 million concurrent views of the live

moon landing on YouTube, highest ever in the history of the platform. This book offers an overview

of the Chandrayaan-3 mission and covers the evolution of Indias Moon programme. It traces Indias

journey to the Moon, starting from its inception during the early 2000s.
