A video of the Pragyan rover rolling out of Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander and walking on the lunar surface was released by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday. Previously, ISRO released visuals of the August 23 soft landing of the Chandrayaan-3 lander Vikram on the moon’s surface, clicked by Chandrayaan-2’s Orbiter High-Resolution Camera.

The rear wheels of the Pragyan rover have fixed with the ISRO logo and the national emblem, showcasing the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath. As Pragyan moved on the moon's surface, the rover left behind imprints of the logo. Upon landing, the lander and the rover will operate and do their set tasks for one lunar day. One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth.

The Prime Minister joined the live telecast of Chandrayaan-3 landing online from South Africa. PM Modi hailed the Chandrayaan-3 mission creating history by achieving a soft landing on the lunar surface and said “India is now on the moon”.

"When we see such historic moments it makes us very proud. This is the dawn of new India,” he said.

“Humne dharti par sankalp kiya aur chand pe usse sakaar kiya. India is now on the moon," he added.

India also became only the fourth nation after the US, Russia and China to successfully conduct a lunar landing mission. The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft put down the Vikram lander on the lunar surface, tilting to a horizontal position ahead of landing.
