The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has shown a video of the Chandrayaan-3 Rover moving from the Lander to the Moon’s surface. Everything is going as planned, and the Rover is ready for its job. The lander’s different systems are working well, and the Rover’s wheels are rolling. Also, there’s an image taken by the camera on the ‘Vikram Lander’ showing the Moon just before the landing.
Jitendra Singh, a union minister, called it “amazing” and shared the video. This comes after ISRO shared that Chandrayaan-3’s Rover had successfully moved out of the lander and started moving on the Moon’s surface.
This big step comes after the historic landing on the Moon’s unexplored south pole.
The lander, which carries the rover called Pragyan, safely touched down on the Moon. ISRO’s chairman S Somanath said it landed exactly where they planned it to, in an area about 4.5 km by 2.5 km.
The plan now is for the rover to explore the Moon’s surface. It’s carrying instruments to study the Moon’s minerals, atmosphere, and even its seismic activity. ISRO said all systems are working well.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised ISRO for making this possible and thanked leaders from around the world for congratulating India on its success.
The rover, called Pragyan, will study the Moon’s surface and analyze its chemical and mineral composition. It’s an exciting time for India’s space journey, and the world is celebrating this big achievement!
