Pragyan (rover): Indian lunar rover
Pragyan is a lunar rover that forms part of Chandrayaan-3, a lunar mission developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). A previous iteration of the rover was launched as part of Chandrayaan-2 on 22 July 2019 and was destroyed with its lander, Vikram, when it crashed on the Moon on 6 September. Chandrayaan-3 launched on 14 July 2023, carrying new versions of Vikram and Pragyan, which successfully landed near the lunar south pole on 23 August 2023.
