On July 14 2:35 PM, the entire nation and Indians across the world were beaming with pride on seeing the Chandrayaan 3 take off for the moon from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. If the Chandrayaan 3 is able to soft launch on the surface of the moon, then it will officially become the fourth country to have done so after the US, Russia and China.
