Indian Space Research Organisation also released images from the Lander Horizontal Velocity Camera taken during the descent to the Moon's surface
The Indian Space Research Organisation’s feat has made India the first country in the world to soft-land near the lunar south pole.
Soon after the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO said communication link was established between the Lander and the space agency's Mission Operations Complex (MOX) here.
According to ISRO, Lander and the Rover have five scientific payloads which have been placed inside the Lander Module (LM). Rover's Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) will be used to derive the chemical composition and infer mineralogical composition to further enhance the understanding of the lunar surface. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) will determine the elemental composition of the lunar soil and rocks around the Moon's landing site.
India achieves a historic first by landing the Lander Module of Chandrayaan 3 on rough, cold and dark terrain of the South Pole of the Moon.
