After the dust raised by last evening's landing had settled, panels on one side of Vikram opened to deploy a ramp to enable Pragyaan to slide down to the lunar surface. It will now roam around the rocks and craters, gathering crucial data and images to be sent back to Earth for analysis.
Chandrayaan-3 has detected sulphur in the moon's soil, which an expert said could reveal more about the origins of our lunar neighbour.
It marks the first time sulphur has been found on the moon's south 'in situ' – so in the place it exists, rather than detected from a distance by an orbiter, the country's space agency said.
Chandrayaan-3 has also found aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, and oxygen, while the search for hydrogen is now underway.
