The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) revealed that Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander ejected 2.06 tonnes of lunar epiregolith, forming a striking 'ejecta halo' upon its successful landing near the Moon's South Pole on August 23, 2023. ISRO's detailed analysis, based on high-resolution imagery, estimated the ejected material's area to be 108.4 m². This achievement marks India as the fourth country to soft-land on the Moon, following the US, China, and Russia. The event signifies a significant leap in lunar exploration and expands India's space capabilities.[image - ISRO]
