New footage showed the moment the Indian spacecraft "Chandrayaan-3" was launched to explore the surface of the moon, a day after it arrived at the South Pole.

The Indian spacecraft consists of a fixed, 4-legged lander and a smaller rover inside it, and it landed on the south pole of the moon, last Wednesday.

A "historic day"... the Indian spacecraft Chandrayaan-3 lands on the moon

The new clip shows the four-wheeled rover driving onto the landing ramp and beginning to cruise across the lunar surface, leaving track marks in its wake.

India made history, on Wednesday, by successfully landing its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on the south pole of the moon, which is a potential source of water and oxygen.

The Indian Space Agency launched the rocket on July 14 from the country's main space station in Andhra Pradesh.

Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, praised the success of his country's mission to land on the South Pole of the Moon, as the second country after China to reach there, describing this day as a "historic day."
