India began exploring the Moon’s surface with a rover on Thursday, a day after it became the first nation to land a craft near the largely unexplored lunar south pole.
Pragyan— Wisdom in Sanskrit—rolled out of the lander hours after the latest milestone in India’s ambitious but cut-price space program sparked huge celebrations across the country.
“Rover ramped down the lander and India took a walk on the moon!” the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday.
