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.

00:31 of the lunar surface just a while back.
00:34 With this momentous and successful landing, India has now become the first country in
00:38 the world to have soft landed on the moon's southern polar region.
00:42 This is also the first time that a rover has been deployed in the southern pole of the
00:46 lunar region.
00:47 The entire country is beaming with pride and jubilation post this tremendous feat by ISRO.
00:53 No human missions so far, including the human moon missions of the United States, have been
00:58 able to take any spacecraft to the moon's south pole.
01:02 Previous moon landings have primarily occurred in the equatorial region with only a few degrees
01:06 of latitude north or south of the lunar equator.
01:09 In fact, just a few days back, the Lunar 25 spacecraft of Russia had failed to achieve
01:15 soft landing on the moon due to a technical glitch and had eventually crashed.
01:19 Earlier, ISRO Chairman S Somnath had said that Vikram, the lander, will be able to make
01:24 a soft landing on the moon's surface even if all the sensors and two of its engines
01:29 did not work and that the entire design of the lander was made in a manner that made
01:34 sure it would be able to handle failures.
01:38 During the final moments, as the country was just minutes away from achieving this feat,
01:42 another history was made as Chandrayaan-3's live stream broke world record of Spanish
01:47 streamer Ibai of 3.4 million viewers.
01:51 At 5.53 pm Indian Standard Time, more than 5.6 million viewers were watching Chandrayaan-3's
01:57 soft landing live stream on ISRO's official YouTube channel.
02:01 This soft landing is a major victory for India and ISRO and a testament to ISRO's abilities
02:06 for executing extremely complicated projects.
