This achievement positions India as the fourth country in history to achieve a successful Moon landing. The successful touchdown at the Moon's South Pole holds significance due to its potential water-rich composition.

The culmination of the Chandrayaan-3 mission was marked by a nerve-wracking "17 minutes of terror," as described by ISRO officials. During this crucial phase, the lander's engines had to be ignited with pinpoint accuracy, guiding it to the lunar surface while meticulously scanning for potential obstacles.

Addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who observed the landmark moment virtually, ISRO Chairman S Somanath proclaimed, "Sir, we have achieved a soft landing on the Moon. India is now on the Moon."

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) aptly conveyed its jubilation through a tweet, "Chandrayaan-3 Mission: 'India, I reached my destination and you too!' : Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon! Congratulations, India!"
