He lander Vikram of the mission Chandrayaan-3 landed this Wednesday shortly after six in the afternoon Indian time, 2:34 p.m. in mainland Spain, after carrying out a braking and approach maneuver to its destination that was completely automatic and represents an enormous technological challenge. India is already the fourth country to successfully land on the Moon and the first to do so on the satellite's hostile south pole. “We have achieved a soft landing. India is on the Moon,” proclaimed Shri S. Somanath, head of the Indian space agency.
