00:00 The Indian Space Research Organisation on Saturday released a new video of Chandrayaan-3's
00:09 Pragyan rover roaming around the Shiv Shakti point, the landing point of Chandrayaan-3
00:15 on the lunar surface.
00:18 Releasing the visuals on X, the Indian Space Agency said, "Chandrayaan-3 mission.
00:23 What's new here?
00:24 Pragyan rover roams around Shiv Shakti point in pursuit of lunar secrets at the South Pole."
00:29 Earlier on Friday, the Pragyan rover rolled out over the surface of the moon and covered

00:44 Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft's lander module comprising the Vikram lander and the Pragyan
00:48 rover made the soft landing near the South Pole region of the moon at 6.04 pm, days after
00:53 Russian lander Lunar 25 crashed.
00:56 A follow-up mission to the 2019 Chandrayaan-2, the latest moon program aims to achieve three
01:01 objectives - to demonstrate a safe and soft landing on the moon's surface, which could
01:06 not be achieved during Chandrayaan-2, to demonstrate rover-roving abilities on the moon's surface,
01:12 and to conduct in-situ scientific experiments.
01:14 PM Modi announced that the touchdown point of Chandrayaan-3 will be called Shiv Shakti,
01:19 while the site where Chandrayaan-2 left its footprints will be called Tiranga.
01:25 He also announced August 23 as the National Space Day to commemorate Chandrayaan-3's successful
01:30 soft landing on the moon.
01:32 After a 40-day journey into space, the Chandrayaan-3 lander, Vikram, touched down on the unexplored
01:38 lunar South Pole on Wednesday, making India the first country to do so.
