Ex-ISRO Official Explains What Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing Means For India And The World

With the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon’s surface, India has written history. Days after Russia’s mission ended in failure, the Chandrayaan-3 lander successfully made contact with the moon’s south pole, which is regarded to be a possible source of water and oxygen. The rocket was launched on July 14 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), taking off from the nation’s primary spaceport in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. What does success entail for India, though? Dr. Surendra Pal, a former ISRO advisor, tells Aditi Prasad of the Hindustan Times.
