On 23 August 2023, India achieved a historic milestone with the successful soft landing of chandrayaan-3 near the Lunar pole . India has become the fourth nation in the world to land a spacecraft on the moon and the first to land near the south pole of the lunar surface. The Vikram lander had also deployed the Pragyan rover on the moon to study the lunar surface. The outcome of this historic mission will benefit mankind in the years to come. To commemorate the historic landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon, National Space Day ( NSpD ) will be celebrated every year on August 23. in this context, Several events, competitions, and engagement programs have been planned in the run-up to the maiden NSpD .

This year is particularly significant as it marks the first anniversary of India's remarkable achievement in space exploration with the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on the lunar south pole. The theme “ Touching Lives while Touching the Moon: India’s Space Saga .” encapsulates the impact of India's space endeavours on society. As we push the boundaries of what is possible in space, we must also acknowledge the importance of fostering a sustainable and thriving Earth.

4. INDIAN SPACE SECTOR The space sector in India has evolved significantly since its inception, with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) at the forefront. Established in 1969 , The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has a rich history marked by significant achievements and milestones in space exploration and technology. ISRO was founded by Dr. Vikram Sarabhai , who is often regarded as the father of the Indian space program. Satellite Launch Vehicles : ISRO developed several generations of launch vehicles, including the Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV), Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV), Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). Each generation has improved payload capacity and reliability.

5. Significant Missions ● Chandrayaan-1 (2008): India's first lunar mission, which made significant discoveries, including evidence of water molecules on the Moon. ● Mangalyaan (2013): The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) made India the first Asian nation to reach Martian orbit and the first in the world to do so in its maiden attempt. ● Chandrayaan-2 (2019): Launched on July 2, 2019, which contributes to studying surface geology, composition, and exospheric measurements of moon. ● Chandrayaan-3 (2023): Launched on July 14, 2023, this mission achieved a historic soft landing on the Moon’s south pole on August 23 , making India the first country to do so and the fourth overall.
