India on wednesday became the first country in history to land on moon's south polar region.

India became the first country to land on south side of moon.

Isro twitted "India, I reached my destination and you too", as the vikram lander successfully landed on moon's lunar surface.Becoming the 4th country after usa, china and ussr to reach the milestone. Post landing, the rover came successfully from the lander and walked on the moon.

Unlike chandrayaan2 mission wherein technical issues led to the crash of lander, this time the mission led by isro chiefperson S somanath and other key isro scientists made sure that the mission would be on "failure based" i.e what failures could happen on all possibilities.Some of the upgrades include - strenghting legs of new vikram lander;bigger fuel tank to ensure more time ;deploying more solar panels and other additional instruments and improvements to make sure the lander would land safely. 

After the vikram landed successfully, celebrations erupted at isro and all over india. K somanath congratulated project director P veeramuthuvel, Mission director Srikanth, assistant director Kalpana, and URSC director V Sankaran for making mission successful. "Most memorable and happiest moment" said Kalpana.

Prime minister narendra modi, who is in south africa for brics summit, congratulated isro scientists for the successful mission. "India's successful moon mission is not just india's alone, but belongs to all of humanity and will help future moon missions of other countries.

Nasa administrator bill nelson congratulated ISRO on its success through his x account, formerly known as twitter. "Today’s event will propel India’s space economy to the next orbit," said Sreeram Ananthasayanam, Partner, Deloitte India, in a statement to the press. President Droupadi Murmu said: “I once again congratulate the ISRO team and all fellow citizens for successful deployment of Pragyan-rover from inside Vikram-lander. 

After rolling down a ramp from the Chandrayaan-3 lander, the six-wheel, 26-kg rover, which is capable of slowly moving up to 500 metres, will begin its job of lunar exploration and rover will start collecting data soon after to get as much science as possible in the single lunar day or 14 Earth days for which they will remain operable.
