On Aug. 23, 2023, India did what only three other countries before it had done: Make a successful soft landing on the moon.
Millions of eyes watched the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s Chandrayaan-3 as its lander touched down on the lunar surface and began its science operations in the days afterward. In fact, some of those eyes were aboard the mission's predecessor, Chandrayaan-2, whose cameras captured the landing site of Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander from its perch in lunar orbit.
