About Chandrayaan-3:

Chandrayaan-3 lifted off on July 14 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. On August 23, it successfully landed on the south pole of the Moon, making India the first country to accomplish this feat. India is also the fourth country to make a soft landing on the lunar surface - after China, Russia, and the USA.
