 India made history on Wednesday when its Chandrayaan-3
lander successfully touched down on the moon's South Pole. The landing marks a
major milestone for India's space program, and it paves the way for the
deployment of the Pragyan rover, which is set to embark on a series of
scientific experiments.

 The Chandrayaan-3 lander is named after Vikram Sarabhai, the
father of India's space program. The lander is equipped with a variety of
scientific instruments, including an alpha particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS)
that will analyze the chemical and mineralogical composition of the lunar
surface.

 The Pragyan rover is a six-wheeled vehicle that is about the
size of a microwave oven. The rover is equipped with a variety of instruments
that will allow it to study the lunar surface in detail. The rover will also
collect samples of lunar soil and rocks, which will be returned to Earth for
further analysis.

 The successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 lander is a
major achievement for India, and it is a testament to the hard work and
dedication of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The landing also
opens up new possibilities for scientific exploration of the moon.
