The landing on the moon’s south pole is a major achievement for India’s space program and is seen as a stepping stone to future missions to the moon. The south pole is of particular interest to scientists because it is believed to contain water ice, which could be a valuable resource for future astronauts.

The landing was not without its challenges. The rover had to contend with the moon’s harsh environment, which includes extreme temperatures and dust that can damage equipment. However, the rover appears to be operating normally and is already beginning to collect data.
