Pragyaan Rover

ISRO chairman S Somnath on Thursday said Chandrayaan-3's rover Pragyan has fallen asleep on the lunar surface, but chances of it waking up from its slumber cannot be ruled out.

Among the points the ISRO Chairperson discussed were the many challenges he has faced over the course of his career, including (the now scarcely believable) contention "my position (in ISRO) was threatened... I could have been thrown out".

The space agency had stated that it would try to re-establish communication with both devices on September 22 after more than two-week-long lunar night.

With dawn breaking on the Moon, ISRO is now gearing up to try to reestablish communication with its lunar mission Chandrayaan-3's solar-powered lander Vikram and rover Pragyan, to revive them so that they can continue with scientific experiments.

The Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope instrument onboard 'Pragyan' rover of Chandrayaan-3 has unambiguously confirmed the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface near south pole, through first-ever in-situ measurements, ISRO said on Tuesday. It also said the instrument also detected aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, sili...

Chandrayaan-3: The Union Cabinet today adopted a resolution hailing the soft-landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the lunar surface, saying the success of the mission is a victory not just for the ISRO but a symbol of India's progress.

The moment that a billion Indians had been waiting for with bated breath finally arrived as the Indian Space Research Organisation sharing the first selfies from the moon's surface of India's robots Vikram and Pragyan.

Deputy Project Director of the Chandrayaan-3 mission Kalpana on Wednesday said that it was a memorable moment for her and for the whole team after the Vikram lander carrying the Pragyaan rover in its belly touched down on the lunar surface.

Excitement is at its crescendo on Twitter, and people are fervently hoping for the triumph of the Chandrayaan-3 moon mission.

Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft's lander Vikram, which successfully separated from its propulsion module and continued its journey towards the Moon yesterday, will undergo a deboosting manoeuvre today at 4:00 pm today.

The Chandrayaan-3's lander 'Vikram' has successfully separated from spacecraft. The lander and rover, Pragyaan, are now expected to land on the Moon on August 23.

Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram is scheduled to separate from the spacecraft's propulsion module today. The lander and rover, Pragyaan, are expected to land on the Moon on August 23.

India's Chandrayaan 3 mission was launched on Friday with the goal of landing a spacecraft on the lunar surface, a feat that has only been achieved by the United States, Russia, and China.

The first images of Chandrayaan-2 satellite, Indian's ambitious moonshot, are out. The mission to the moon is getting ready for lift off on July 15 from Sriharikota using the country's most powerful rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark 3.
