‘Vikram’ this time landed without a hitch thanks to the persistent efforts of ISRO experts. The lander successfully completed the crucial 17 minutes of terror by firing its engines at the proper moment, altitude, and fuel consumption.

Even though Chandrayaan-2 was only partially successful, its orbiter was crucial in making Chandrayaan-3’s voyage easier. Communication between the Chandrayaan-3 lander module and the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter had been established earlier this week by ISRO. The latter’s ‘Welcome, buddy!’ the remark cheered the entire country, but everyone held out hope until the very end.
An important turning point in India’s space history was when it became the first nation to visit the unexplored south pole of the moon. It happened roughly 40 years after Wg Cdr Rakesh Sharma, who was assisted by the Soviet Union, became the first Indian to travel into space. Launching the Mars Orbiter Mission in November 2013 was a huge accomplishment for ISRO.
With the aid of Mangalyaan, which spent about eight years in the Martian orbit, India was able to join the limited club of countries that had successfully investigated the red planet. Next up is India’s first human space flight mission, Gaganyaan, and soon the crew escape system’s first test vehicle mission will be launched. India’s ambitious space program cannot be stopped. The New York Times, which published a cartoon in 2014 depicting an Indian farmer and a cow knocking on the entrance of the Elite Space Club, is now undoubtedly the target of the joke.
