    About this ebook

    On August 23, exactly at 12:33 P.M. UTC, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission's robotic lander, named Vikram, touched down on the surface of the moon. It was a moment of jubilation and celebration across India and around the world. For the first time, humans had landed a spacecraft on the Moon's unexplored South Pole.   

    Behind the success of this mission were the decades of hard work put in by the scientists and engineers of ISRO - the Indian Space Research Organization, in cooperation with other space agencies around the globe. From launching the orbiter, lander, and rover into space to navigating the vast distance to the lunar surface, this book takes you step-by-step through Chandrayaan-3's epic voyage.  

     

    With daring and spirit, the Chandrayaan-3 mission promises to make history and reveal the Moon's secrets as never before. Experience the wonders of space travel and STEM firsthand in this inspiring true story of humanity reaching for the stars.
