The name approved by the IAU working group for planetary system nomenclature for the landing site of Chandrayaan’s Vikram lander is ‘Shiv Shakti’.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the name ‘Shiv Shakti Point’ for the landing site of Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander on the Moon. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature has since recognised and approved this name for the landing site.
