The Chandrayan-3 lunar rover has begun exploring the moon’s surface, after India became the first country to land a craft near the largely unexplored south pole. Chandrayan-3 sent back images of its six-wheeled, solar-powered rover leaving the craft to conduct experiments for the next two weeks. The mission’s success has sparked massive celebrations in India – it’s only the fourth country to pull off a soft lunar landing – and for the relatively low cost of around $75-million dollars. India says its next plans are for a crewed mission to the Moon.
