The Vikram lander and Pragyan rover of Chandrayaan-3 are expected to reactivate on September 23. The lander and rover are currently in “sleep mode” near Moon’s South Pole after having completed their set tasks. SAC Director Nilesh Desai briefed about the further developments in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Also, the former Director of SAC said that the revival of Pragyan Rover will be a miracle for ISRO. 

In a major development, ISRO announced that ‘Vikram lander’ of the Chandrayaan-3 mission has been set into sleep mode. This significant development took place at approximately 8 a.m. IST on September 04. ISRO said that the data collected by the payloads is received at the Earth and the Payloads are now switched off. Taking to X, ISRO informed that ‘Vikram’ will fall asleep next to Pragyan once the solar power is depleted and the battery is drained. Prior to that, in-situ experiments by ChaSTE, RAMBHA-LP, and ILSA payloads were performed at new location. On August 23, India took a giant leap as the Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on Moon’s south pole. Notably, India became the fourth country after the US, China, and USSR to have successfully landed on the Moon’s surface. Vikram Lander, Pragyan rover performed different set tasks on the lunar surface including finding the presence of sulphur, and recording relative temperature.
