NASA experts wanted India to share space technology after seeing Chandrayaan-3 craft development: ISRO chief Somanath

The Chandrayaan-3's lander successfully touched down near the south pole of the Moon on August 23, making it only the fourth country in the world to achieve the feat of reaching lunar surface after the US, China and the erstwhile Soviet Union. The ISRO chief further said, "Now we are telling you people (to) come and build rockets, satellites and make our nation more powerful in space technology.
