A bright halo surrounds the Vikram lander, which appears as a tiny speck in the center of the image.

The Chandrayaan-3 lander touched down near the Moon’s south pole on 23 August.

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter took the photo four days later.

Last month, India’s Vikram lander – carrying Pragyaan – touched down about 600 kilometers (373 miles) from the lunar south pole.

In addition, the country achieved a soft landing on the moon with the US, the former Soviet Union, and China.

During their stay on the lunar surface, the lander and rover “exceeded their mission objectives,” according to Isro.

Isro said the lander and rover had been put to bed as the Sun set on the Moon at the weekend.

As soon as the solar power and battery are drained, they will fall asleep next to each other.

As the next lunar day begins on 22 September, Isro hopes they will reawaken. In order for the lander and rover to function, they need sunlight to charge their batteries. In addition to providing regular updates on the lander and rover’s movements and findings, the Indian space agency has shared images taken by the lander and rover.

Isro announced earlier this week that Vikram had performed a “successful hop experiment” on the moon.
