India is only the fourth country to land on moon, and the first to make a soft landing of the Lander module on the south pole of the lunar surface. Chandrayaan-3 took a long voyage of 40 days to reach the Moon. During the 14 days of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the Vikram lander and Pragyan Rover will continue their plan of action exploring the lunar surface and collecting invaluable scientific data., India News, Times Now
The Pragyan rover, designed for this mission, showcases India s national emblem, the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath, and the iconic ISRO logo.
