First in History: India Lands Spacecraft at Moon’s South Pole [Live]

Today is a critical day for the global space wars. Because, within the scope of the moon mission launched a while ago, India can be recorded as the first country to prepare to land on the south of the Moon. Today is the big day as part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, which was officially launched on July 14. We will see together whether India’s spacecraft can make a soft landing on the Moon.

In a news we shared with you recently, we mentioned that Russia’s Luna-25 space mission ended in failure. India may share the same fate as Russia. But this time, hopes are high. Because India did a good job even in the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which it realized a few years ago and considered unsuccessful, ensuring the survival of the module it sent to the Moon. From this point of view, it is possible to say that India’s probability of success is higher than Russia’s.

He will do scientific research and search for water on the Moon!

The spacecraft that India sent towards the Moon consists of several layers. Launched with the rocket named LVM3, the spacecraft carries a landing module called Vikram and a 26 kilogram rover called Pragyaan. If the soft landing is successful, India will conduct scientific studies on the Moon with Pragyaan. In addition, one of the most important objectives of the mission will be to find water. Thus, it will be understood whether the Moon is suitable for human habitation. Let’s not go without saying that in the Chandrayaan-1 mission that India carried out in 2008, it landed on the Moon’s surface and detected the partial atmosphere with water molecules.

In the statements made by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), it was stated that for now, everything continues as it should. If the download is successful, we will begin to refer to India as the 4th country to land on the lunar surface, the first to land on the south of the Moon.
