Sending laser pulses towards an object and measuring how long it takes the light to bounce back is a commonly used way to track the locations of Earth-orbiting satellites from the ground.
As the night falls on the Lunar South Pole, temperatures plummet to a bone-chilling -200 degrees Celsius, posing a severe risk of freezing the rover and lander, potentially damaging their vital instruments. Even though the mission was planned for just 14 days, the meticulous planning aimed at safeguarding the Vikram and Pragyan holds high hopes for a successful revival, allowing ISRO to continue their exploration.

On August 26, 2023, the Vikram Lander, a part of Chandrayaan-3, captured a seismic event (moonquake) on the lunar surface, using a state-of-the-art payload known as the Instrument for the Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA). This event, believed to be natural, has set the scientific community abuzz, as ISRO continues its investigation to pinpoint the source of this lunar phenomenon.
