There is no hope of reviving the Chandrayaan-3 s moon lander and rover, according to former ISRO Chairman A S Kiran Kumar. Efforts to establish communication with the lander and rover have been unsuccessful, and Kumar stated that there is now no chance of them waking up. The Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved its objectives of a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface, rover roving, and in-situ scientific experiments.
China s top scientist, Ouyang Ziyuan, has disputed India s claim of landing its Chandrayaan-3 rover near the lunar south pole, stating that the landing site was nowhere close to the pole. Ouyang said the Chandrayaan-3 was 619 kilometers away from the polar region. China s space program, according to Pang Zhihao, a Beijing-based senior space expert, has better technology and has been capable of sending orbiters and landers directly into Earth-Moon transfer orbit since 2010.
Data from the Chandrayaan-1 mission suggests that electrons from Earth s magnetosphere could be responsible for the creation of water on the Moon s surface.
