Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon's south pole on August 23.
The Pragyan rover explored the lunar surface for nearly two weeks before entering sleep mode.
The mission detected evidence of water ice and various elements like iron, sulfur, and oxygen on the Moon.
The lander performed a short hop as a technology demonstration for future sample return missions.
India has now joined an elite group of countries to successfully land on the Moon, highlighting its technological capabilities.
