Laser instrument onboard a NASA spacecraft orbiting the Moon has successfully pinged the Vikram lander of India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, the US space agency said.

The laser beam was transmitted and reflected between the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and an Oreo-sized device on Vikram lander, opening the door to a new style of precisely locating targets on the Moon's surface

Chandrayaan-3s Vikram lander now serving as Moons South Pole location marker: The recent achievement of transmitting and reflecting a laser beam between ISROs Vikram lander and NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has significant implications for future space missions. This successful experiment opens up opportunities for accurately locating targets on the moons surface.

The retroreflector on India's Vikram lander is only two inches wide.

NASA spacecraft, currently orbiting the Moon, sent laser beams to Vikram, and received reflected beams, thus verifying the possibility of a new way to precisely locate objects on the Moon

NASA has confirmed that the Vikram lander is now serving as a location marker on the Moon's South Pole. 

The Laser Retroreflector Array (LRA) on the Vikram lander of Indias Chandrayaan-3 mission was involved in the experiment, which now opens the door to a new style of precisely locating targets on the Moons surface.

Scientists behind Chandrayaan 3's success have studied at prestigious institutions in India such as IIT Kharagpur, IISc Bangalore etc.

A futuristic fuel cell-based power system was successfully tested by India's national space agency. As per ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation), this new power system could help build a proposed space station while holding prospects of wider human applications.

Our Life is nothing but a Winter’s Day; Some only break their Fast, and so away. Others stay Dinner, and depart full fed. The deepest Age but sups and goes to bed.
