Chandrayaan-3: India lunar rover Pragyaan takes a walk on the Moon


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.

First EVER elements are discovered on the Moon's South Pole: India's Chandrayaan-3 rover confirms the presence of sulphur in the lunar surface


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. 


There are a couple new photos in the link, one of the lander and one of a crater.
