India's Chandrayaan-3 Successfully Launches Moon Mission

India has successfully launched its Chandrayaan-3 mission, aiming to become the fourth country to achieve a controlled landing on the moon. The spacecraft, developed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), consists of a lander, propulsion module, and rover. Chandrayaan-3 is expected to land on the moon's surface on August 23, following India's previous failed attempt with Chandrayaan-2 in 2019. The mission's goal is to collect data and conduct scientific experiments to learn more about the moon's composition. India's space program, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, symbolizes the country's rising prominence on the global stage, with ambitions extending beyond the moon and Mars.
