The Lunar Module comprising the lander (Vikram) and the 26 kg rover (Pragyan), made the soft landing near the south polar region of the Moon on Wednesday evening.
India’s third Moon mission Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the lunar south pole at 6.04 pm after a flawless 41-day voyage.
The rover Pragyan will now leave the lander module.
It will descend from the lander’s belly onto the Moon’s surface using one of its side panels which will act as a ramp.
