The canvas of 2023 unfolded with vibrant strokes, illustrating the nation's resilience, creativity, and commitment to greatness. Let's celebrate the exceptional feats that defined India's 2023, affirming the nation's achievement and progress on the global stage.
1 1ST COUNTRY TO REACH THE MON SOUTH POLE
On the historic evening of August 23 at 6.03 pm IST, the Indian Space Research Organisation made every Indian proud by announcing the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 lander on the moon's surface. The 19-minute sequence showcased the spacecraft's precise navigation, employing engines, thrusters, and a suite of sensors from an altitude of approximately 30 km, decelerating to a ground speed of 1.7 km/s.
The best part is, that this victory made India the first country to land on the Moon's south pole and the fourth country in the world to achieve a soft landing on the moon.
Beyond the scientific achievement, this win resonates with a broader narrative of empowerment. In a groundbreaking stride for gender equality in the male-dominated field of science, over 100 women scientists and engineers played pivotal roles in this historic mission. Many women like Ritu Karidhal Srivastava, Nandini Harinath, Kalpana K, and Anuradha TK contributed significantly, showcasing the spirit of women in shaping the path of space exploration.
