What started in 1966 as humanity's yearning to explore a distant land out of the earth, after 57 years we find India, the fourth nation joining this exclusive club. 🌹🌹👍 Also we are the first country in the world to land in the south pole of the moon ..
The details of the Chandrayaan 3 mission are as follows.

It is indeed a great act put together by India .. With a very small budget of about Rs 615 crores, ie. $ 75 million, India could pull off this act. The spot of landing of Chandrayaan 3 is called Shivshakthi and the spot of the crashlanded Chandrayaan 2 is called Tiranga Point. Click here for a video of the landing ..
Next month India will be launching its next mission to study the sun, Aditya L1, then Mangalyaan 2 and then Gaganyaan. Great time for India and all the space enthusiasts of the world.
India will get to unravel many of the secrets of apace and improve the living conditions for mankind.
