This week marked a significant milestone in space exploration as India achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first nation to successfully land a spacecraft on the moon’s south pole.
India’s cost-friendly mission
The Chandrayaan-3 moon mission, executed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has garnered widespread acclaim for its cost-efficient approach. With a budget of $75 million, the mission’s financial prudence has drawn comparisons to the production expenses of Hollywood blockbuster “Interstellar,” which amounted to $165 million.
Chandrayaan-3, designed to deepen our comprehension of lunar mysteries, showcases India’s commitment to advancing space research without straining its resources. Notably, this mission cements India’s position as the fourth country to land on the moon and, more significantly, the first to achieve this remarkable feat on the moon’s enigmatic dark side.
