The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to release thousands of images captured by the Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover during their lunar exploration to mark the anniversary of the Chandrayaan-3 mission’s landing. This mission made history last year by successfully landing on the Moon’s south pole, making India the first nation to achieve this feat and placing it among an exclusive club of four countries with lunar landing capabilities.

Earlier this year, in May, ISRO shared stunning high-resolution images of the Chandrayaan-3 lander, Vikram, and the Pragyan rover resting on the lunar surface after completing their mission. The upcoming release of additional images is expected to provide further insights into their exploration of the Moon’s uncharted territory.
