The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said on Thursday, August 24, that its Pragyan lunar rover had “commenced” operations near the moon’s south poll, a day after the Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander touched down.

ISRO released footage the following day showing the lander ramping down onto the moon’s surface. The rover will use a solar panel to generate power, ISRO said, and is equipped to carry out experiments. Credit: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) via Storyful
