The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientists celebrated the achievement at their Bengaluru headquarters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his joy, calling it a moment to cherish forever. He emphasized that India is now on the Moon and referred to it as a new flight of new India.
President Droupadi Murmu also congratulated ISRO and everyone involved in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. She termed it a momentous occasion and wished ISRO greater accomplishments in the future.
The success of Chandrayaan 3 not only marks India’s significant achievement in lunar exploration but also underscores the power of human collaboration and determination. International space agencies and leaders praised India for this monumental accomplishment.
NASA administrator Bill Nelson congratulated ISRO and India, highlighting the successful lunar south pole landing. He celebrated India becoming the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon and acknowledged the partnership between NASA and ISRO.
European Space Agency Director General Josef Aschbacher was thoroughly impressed by India’s achievement, noting the demonstration of new technologies and India’s first soft landing on another celestial body.
Chandrayaan 3’s successful soft landing comes after the Chandrayaan 2 landing attempt in 2019 had failed. The accomplishment reaffirms India’s position in space exploration and opens new opportunities for future lunar missions.
