New Delhi: Neal Mohan, the head of YouTube, has congratulated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for achieving a streaming milestone with the Chandrayaan-3 launch.

According to a post on X (previously Twitter), YouTube India revealed that the live stream of Chandrayaan-3's soft landing on the Moon on August 23 garnered over 80 lakh (or 8 million) viewers, making it the most-watched live stream worldwide.

The Chandrayaan-3 lander, following its successful soft landing last month, is currently positioned near the Moon's South Pole.

India achieved a significant milestone with the Chandrayaan-3 lander module's successful touchdown on the lunar South Pole, marking the country as the first to accomplish this historic feat.

India joins an exclusive group of nations, including the US, China, and Russia, as the fourth country to achieve a successful moon landing.

In the days following the landing, both the Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover undertook various tasks on the lunar surface. These tasks included detecting the presence of sulphur and other trace elements, recording temperature variations, and monitoring surrounding movements.

Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar mission, had explicit objectives: a secure and gentle landing, rover exploration on the moon's surface, and the execution of in-situ scientific experiments.
