India's Pragyan rover has begun exploring the moon's south pole, a region that has been largely unexplored by other countries.
The rover rolled out of the lander on Thursday, a day after it became the first nation to land a craft near the south pole.
The rover is equipped with a variety of instruments that will allow it to study the geology and composition of the lunar surface. It will also search for signs of water ice, which could be a valuable resource for future human missions to the moon.
The rover's mission is expected to last for two weeks.
The successful landing of Pragyan is a major milestone for India's space program. It is the country's third lunar mission, and the first to land near the south pole.
The south pole is of particular interest to scientists because it is thought to be one of the coldest and driest places on Earth. It is also thought to be home to large deposits of water ice.
The successful landing of Pragyan is a testament to the growing capabilities of India's space program. The country has ambitious plans to send a crewed mission to the moon by 2024.
The successful landing of Pragyan is also a boost for international cooperation in space exploration. The rover is part of a joint mission between India and the European Space Agency.
The mission is a sign of the growing cooperation between countries in the field of space exploration. It is also a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in addressing the challenges of space exploration.
The successful landing of Pragyan is a major achievement for India and for the international community. It is a sign of the growing capabilities of India's space program and the importance of international cooperation in space exploration.
