Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) releases a video showing the ramping down of the Chandrayaan-3 Rover from the Lander to the lunar surface, on Friday.

PM Modi ISRO Visit Highlights: With the successful soft landing on Moon's surface, Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved a significant milestone in its space endeavour. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called this feat the 'dawn of new India’, and now he is going to congratulate scientists in the Indian Space Research Organisation's Telemetry, Tracking and Command Centre (ISTRAC) in person in Bengaluru early morning today.

Attending virtually during the lander module's touch down, PM Modi hailed the historic soft landing, proclaiming 'India is now on the moon'.

The historic achievement by ISRO placed India among top four nations to carry out a soft landing on the lunar surface, and the first nation to reach near the Moon's unexplored south pole.
