By Dr. Jaipal Singh India created a history in the space research and technology on the Wednesday, 23rd August 2023 (IST 18:03 Hrs), when the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)’s Chandrayaan-3 made a perfect soft-landing on moon’s surface with an absolute precision. This august and rare success is also remarkable from the point of view

Chandrayaan-3's lander Vikram will go to sleep mode on the moon, India's space agency ISRO said today, hours after announcing that it had exceeded its mission by "landing on moon, again".

It is to be noted Lander Vikram and Rover Pragyan, the two pivotal components of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, are in the final leg of their Lunar expedition. ISRO has planned to put them into hibernation, a process more commonly known as 'sleep' mode.

Days after successfully touching down on the lunar surface, Chandrayaan-3's Pragyan rover has traversed over 100 metres, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief S Somanath said.

The Instrument of Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) payload on the Chandrayaan-3 lander recorded a natural event that occurred on the Moon's surface on August 26, the source of which is still under investigation, the space agency said.

A senior ISRO scientist on Tuesday said that the rover had moved around 15 meters and that the space agency was trying to cover more areas of the lunar surface.

The Kremlin said Tuesday that Russia would not give up its ambitions to land a craft on the Moon after its first lunar mission in nearly 50 years failed this month.

Data collected by Chandrayaan-3 will be critical for planning future manned missions to the moon, says senior scientist Dr Anil Bhardwaj whose team helped design the experiments on Lander
