Soft land achieved. First powered soft descent near Moons South Pole. Congratulations to ISRO and India!

Thanks Dilbu. Thanks Modi.

Oh, and thank you too, ISRO.

The last few seconds of hover was PURE SWAG !

A very proud moment for ISRO and every Indian ! Jai Hind !!

Do we know the final vertical velocity during touchdown? The lander can take less than 2 m/s

That hover was great. Our lander was in full control on that descent.

Dilbu thanks!!

Congratulations to all

Indeed, take a bow! This thread was so engaging over the past couple of months.

Agreed, Modi-ji should have said a few short words and yielded to Somnath-ji.

He is talking up ISRO.

Congratulations Bharat!

Relax folks, NaMo is giving a lot of messaging to the entire world, not hogging limelight. Listen to his words and parse very carefully.

Yes maybe they can call him to the podium!

Congratulations!!! This is amazing… freaking automated…

When is the lander rolling out?

Just woke up after suffering multiple mini-strokes during that hover phase at 100+ meters….

Remembering all the stalwarts known and unknown, who worked all their lives to reach this moment. Because back in the 80s, when the first ASLV launch broke up over Bay of Bengal, I saw the sadness of the folks involved at VSSC for first time and remember wondering for a minute if we will ever do stuff with the effortless ease that Americans, Soviets and Europeans were doing at that time.

Turns out we can and we did

Great so see many, so many women - "Bharatiya Naaris" in this CY3 team ! While the rest of the world keeps talking about this and that, India just simply does it in every field that matters. Bharata Naari ki jai !!

ISRO scientist speaking just mentioned "landing a craft on Mars" as one of the future missions.

What was the vertical landing velocity of the lander? Was it the nominal 1 meter/sec or was it at the higher end towards 3 meters/sec?

What was the horizontal landing velocity of the lander?
