The Chandrayaan-3 mission did what it set out to do, but its lander and rover could not be roused after entering the cold lunar darkness two weeks ago.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission makes India the first country to reach the lunar south polar region in one piece and adds to the achievements of the country’s homegrown space program.
Coming on the heels of Russia’s lunar lander crash over the weekend, India is hoping to become on Wednesday the first nation to set down in the moon’s south polar region.
