<p>India is in an advantageous position when it comes to studying the Moon, the only satellite our planet has. This is because India has 'boots on ground' in the form of Chandrayaan-3 lander&nbsp;and rover on the surface of the Moon and also has Chandrayaan-2 orbiter revolving around the Moon, taking pictures. The combined forces of Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3 are sure to help India in its scientific quest.</p>

<p>The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has now released a picture of Chandrayaan-3 lander clicked by Chandrayaan-2 orbiter. The lander made a successful soft landing on the Moon's South Pole.</p>

<p>“Chandrayaan-3 lander is imaged by the Dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DFSAR) instrument onboard the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter on September 6, 2023,” ISRO said.</p>

<p>Although ISRO didn't succeed in landing a probe on Moon's surface during its Chandrayaan-2 mission few years ago, the orbiter from the mission has been successfully revolving around the Moon ever since.</p>

<p>The orbiter had helped Chandrayaan-3 land successfully on Moon by establishing a two-way connection with the lander module days ahead of its landing.</p>
