The Chandrayaan-3 lander stands about 2 meters tall and has a mass of just over 1,700 kg (3,747.86 lb), roughly on par with an SUV. It is designed to deploy a smaller, 26-kg lunar rover.
NASA administrator Bill Nelson told Reuters that the U.S. space agency was "looking forward" to what would be learned from the Indian mission.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission was launched on July 14 from India's main space port in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
