“NASA's LRO spacecraft recently imaged the Chandrayaan-3 lander on the Moon’s surface. The ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) Chandrayaan-3 touched down on Aug. 23, 2023, about 600 kilometers from the Moon’s South Pole,” NASA tweeted.
In a giant leap for its space programme, India's Moon mission Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the lunar south pole at 6.04 pm on August 23, propelling India into an exclusive club of four and making it the first country to land on the uncharted southern pole of the Moon.
The total cost of Chandrayaan-3, according to Isro, is Rs 615 crore, which is almost equivalent to a Hindi cinema's production budget.
