India has become the first country in the world to land on the lunar south pole, and the fourth to do so after the Soviet Union (now Russia), the United States, and China. Vikram, the landing module of India's Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander, touched down near the south pole of the moon at 9:33 p.m. EDT on March 23, near the western side of the Boguslausky Crater, about 70 degrees south latitude and about 595 kilometers from the South Pole. This is the first time a human lunar probe has landed on the lunar south pole, where landing is difficult due to the sun's shadow.
