    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The first video of the rover, posted on Friday, shows it leaving the Chandrayaan-3 lander on a ramp and driving onto the Moon.

    The ISRO posted the video in a thread that also included footage from the lander approaching its landing site and kicking up dust as it touched down on the surface.

    The ISRO wrote afterward that the rover’s two scientific instruments had been turned on and that it had moved eight meters.

    This morning, the ISRO published two pictures after the rover encountered a large crater and needed a path correction.

    India’s stated goals for its lunar mission are to successfully land on the Moon and demonstrate the country can drive its rover on the surface as well as to “conduct in-situ scientific experiments” using instruments on the rover and the lander itself.

    India’s successful landing on the lunar surface came just days after the failure of the Russian Luna 25 lander, which was also bound for the Moon’s south pole.
