India's Chandrayaan-3 rover makes historic lunar south pole landing, confirms sulfur and other elements

India became the first country to successfully land a spacecraft at the moon's south pole.
The Chandrayaan-3 rover Pragyan confirmed the presence of sulfur and detected other elements like aluminum and iron on the lunar surface.
The rover narrowly avoided a hazardous crater in its path during initial exploration of the lunar terrain.
The lunar south pole is of great interest for future space missions due to the potential for water ice deposits.
India's accomplishment highlights the nation's growing capabilities in space technology and exploration.
