India has once again made history in the realm of space exploration. The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 lunar exploration mission successfully landed its Vikram lander and deployed the Pragyan rover on the Moon's south polar region on August 23, 2023, achieving a historic first landing on the unexplored lunar south pole. This article provides an in-depth overview of ISRO's monumental Chandrayaan-3 moon mission . A game-changing moment emerged in 2008 when India's Chandrayaan-1 mission unveiled an astonishing find: water on the moon's surface. This groundbreaking revelation reignited the world's fascination with lunar exploration, triggering an international craze that saw major players like China, the United States, and Israel join the pursuit. Fast forward to today, and India takes center stage once more with Chandrayaan 3, its third lunar mission . This determined effort follows a setback experienced during the Chandrayaan 2 mi…

India took a giant leap on August 23, as the Chandrayaan-3 lander module successfully landed on the moon’s South pole, making it the first country to have achieved the historic feat.
Control system was the first in the Soviet program based on an onboard computer. Inputs were derived from a three-axis gyro stabilized platform, landing radar, and a collimating sight. The cosmonaut would use the sight to spot the selected landing site, and then input the coordinates to the computer. Computer commands were verified using Sun and planet sensors. Lone cosmonaut stood before a large, round, downward-angled window; controlled flight manually using a control panel located to the right of the window and control sticks. A smaller window faced upward to provide visibility during docking.
