TL;DR Summary

India's Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander and rover are making significant progress in their mission, with the rover discovering the presence of sulfur and other elements on the lunar surface near the Moon's south pole. The rover is also searching for signs of frozen water, which could be crucial for future missions and potential lunar bases. The lander is conducting measurements of the lunar surface's thermal conductivity, searching for seismic activity, and estimating the near-surface plasma density. The mission is expected to last just 14 days on the Moon's surface, so updates are limited.
