Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander started serving as a location marker near lunar south pole: NASA

Nasa’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) pings on Isro’s Vikram lander. ​The Chandrayaan-3 lander was 100km away from LRO, near Manzinus crater in the Moon’s South Pole region. The successful experiment paves the way for accurately locating targets on the moon's surface. NASA’s Laser Retroreflector Array (LRA) was fitted on the Vikram lander under international collaboration with ISRO. LRA serves as a simple but robust method to reflect incoming light from any direction back to its source.
