Chandrayaan-3, India's lunar mission, successfully landed on the Moon's surface on August 23.

Vikram lander and Pragyan rover conducted in-situ experiments for 14 Earth days.

Vikram and Pragyan were designed for a 14 Earth day mission but may awaken on the next lunar sunrise.

If they don't wake up on September 22, they will remain as India's lunar ambassadors.
