Watch live: India becomes fourth country to land on the moon | USA TODAY



The Indian Space Research Organization, or IRSO, launched Chandrayaan-3 over a month ago with the goal landing near the lunar south pole to become the fourth country to land a spacecraft on the moon.

The spacecraft made a successful landing about 8:33 a.m. ET Wednesday morning. You can watch live at the embed at the top of the page.

Chandrayaan-3, the word for “moon craft” in Sanskrit, took off from a launchpad in Sriharikota in southern India in July with an orbiter, a lander and a rover, in a demonstration of India’s emerging space technology.

The successful landing makes India the fourth country — after the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China — to achieve the feat.
