Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing Successful: India has created history by becoming the first country to land on the south pole of the Moon's surface. PM Modi congratulated Indians and space scientists for the achievement. "India will remember this day forever," said PM Modi.

The real test of the mission began with the final part of the descent. 20 minutes before landing, ISRO launched the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS). This allowed the Vikram LM to take control and use its onboard computers and logic to determine a favorable location and softland on the lunar surface.
Experts say that the last 15-20 minutes were crucial for the success of the mission when Vikram, the lander of Chandrayaan-3, made a soft landing. Indians across the country and across the world are praying for the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 today.
Given the history of India's second moon mission, which failed in the last 20 minutes before landing, ISRO was extra cautious this time. Because the spacecraft is in great danger minutes before landing on the moon, many call this duration "20 or 17 minutes of horror". At that point, the entire process became autonomous, Vikram's lander firing its engines at the right time and altitude.
