India celebrated 1st National Space Day today, August 23, 2024. It was on this day last year that Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully accomplished soft landing of Vikram Lander on lunar surface.

This day marks India's historic achievement as India became only the fourth in the world to land a rover on the moon and the first to land near the southern polar region.

Having achieved a huge success in the moon mission, the government officially declared August 23 as the National Space Day.

The Vikram Lander accompanied by the Pragyaan Rover touched down on the lunar surface ushering in a significant achievement in India's space exploration efforts.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

National Space Day is established to inspire the coming generation to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), to contribute to India's future space missions.

The theme for India’s first National Space Day is ‘Touching Lives while Touching the Moon: India's Space Saga’.
