ISRO made the country proud after its third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon and on Friday the science body left the countrymen elated by sharing the first visuals of the rover rolling down onto the Moon's surface as it exited the lander.

ISRO shared the visual on its X page, a moment for which the countrymen were waiting to witness since Chandrayaan-3 commenced its mission last month.

"And here is how the Chandrayaan-3 Rover ramped down from the Lander to the Lunar surface." ISRO wrote on X.
