Chandrayaan-3

India successfully landed the Chandrayaan-3 on the south pole of the Moon on August 23, becoming the first to explore uncharted lunar terrain and the fourth to achieve a soft-landing. The Chandrayaan-3 mooncraft, consisting of its lander Vikram and rover Pragyaan, is now working on relaying information and data back to ISRO headquarters. ISRO Chairman S Somnath confirmed the mission's success, which will last for 14 days. The mission is working well, with all five instruments on board switched on and providing beautiful data.

Chandrayaan-3's rover, Pragyan, has been redirected after encountering a four-meter crater on the Moon. ISRO reported that the rover had spotted the crater three meters away and was directed to a safer path.
