On 23rd August 2023, Indian scientists put a spaceship on the moon.

People in India are happy.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the scientists.

The spaceship's name is Chandrayaan-3.

India's the fourth country to land on the moon.

But it's the first to go to the moon's south pole.

P Veeramuthuvel is the director for Chandrayaan-3.

The engines on Chandrayaan-3 aren't very powerful.

The US Apollo engines in the 1960s and 70s were more powerful.

Chandrayaan-3 had to go around the Earth several times.

Then, it travelled for a month to the moon.

Chandrayaan-3 carried a robot.

Its name is Vikram.

Vikram will drive around the moon's south pole for two months.

It'll take photos.

It uses solar energy.

It cost $72.6 million to go to the moon.

Next time, India wants to send scientists.

But for now, people are celebrating Chandrayaan-3's landing.

Sreedhara Somanath's the head of the Indian Space Research Organisation.
