India's space agency Isro's footage shows Chandrayaan-3's rover Pragyaan for the first time ever.
India's space agency has released new footage that shows Chandrayaan-3's rover for the first time ever.
The Vikram lander - carrying the rover in its belly - had successfully touched down as planned on Wednesday evening. Friday morning's video showed the rover as it stepped out into the sunshine and its lengthening shadow. Pragyaan will communicate only with the lander which will send the information to the orbiter from Chandrayaan-2 - which is still circling the Moon - to pass it on to the Earth for analysis.The landing on Wednesday coincided with the start of a lunar day - a day on the Moon equals a little over four weeks on Earth and this means the lander and rover will have 14 days of sunlight to charge their batteries.
