The Chandrayaan-3 rover, Pragyaan, took a moon 'walk,' stated India's Space Agency on Thursday.
"Chandrayaan-3 ROVER: Made in India, Made for the MOON! The Ch-3 Rover ramped down from the lander, and India took a walk on the Moon. More updates soon," the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) tweeted.
Pragyan is a six-wheel rover that will study the lunar surface for two weeks, or a single Moon day.
According to the scientists, the rover will extend its solar array and roll with the help of a wire connected to the lander, Vikram. Once the rover is stable on the crater surface, the wire will be snapped. After this, it will start its mission.
The mission's main goal is to explore the possibility of the presence of water, if that and the origin are confirmed, it would be a crucial find in terms of future Moon missions.
