The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has treated the world to mesmerizing glimpses of the moon’s surface, thanks to the Vikram Lander Imager Camera. The recently released images offer a captivating lead-up to the historic touchdown of Chandrayaan-3, ISRO’s ambitious lunar mission.
A remarkable video released by ISRO showcases the moon’s visage as captured through the Lander Imager Camera during the Vikram Lander Module’s power descent. This video offers a unique insight into the moments just before the monumental soft landing.
Notably, India etched its name in history as Chandrayaan-3’s Lander Module achieved an impeccable landing on the lunar surface. This significant accomplishment places India as the fourth nation globally to achieve this feat and the very first to reach the uncharted territory of the moon’s southern pole.

The Lander Module, a fusion of the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan), executed a gentle landing in the vicinity of the moon’s southern polar region. This groundbreaking event unfolded recently, setting the stage for an era of lunar exploration and discovery.
In a subsequent development, ISRO disclosed that the rover had successfully descended from the lander. A bold statement accompanied this news: “India took a walk on the moon.” The Chandrayaan-3 Rover’s next steps will be monitored and guided by ISTRAC, marking a significant stride in India’s space exploration journey.
The spacecraft’s announcement, quoting the rover’s mission, resonates with a sense of exploration and innovation: “Chandrayaan-3 Rover to MOX, ISTRAC, Moonwalk begins!” As India continues its journey to unlock the moon’s mysteries, these images and developments serve as a testament to the nation’s scientific prowess and unwavering commitment to space exploration.
