Chandrayaan 3: On the south pole of the Moon, dawn is about to break once more. This has also increased hopes for the lander Vikram and the rover Pragyan to awaken. The south pole of the moon will get sunlight on September 22. After that, ISRO will try again to get the Vikram lander and rover to operate. Let us inform you that both are currently sleeping. Prior to the launch of Chandrayaan-3, ISRO had given these two only a 14-day task assignment; but, once there, it was reported that both of them could resume work once the night was over.
ISRO Awaits Double Victory as Lander and Rover Awakening Could Follow Successful Moon Landing
It will be a double victory for ISRO if the lander and rover can be awakened. ISRO will gain something in a way. On August 23, Lander Vikram accomplished a successful soft landing on the moon. Following this, Rover Pragyan emerged and provided ISRO with crucial information for 12 days. The rover entered sleep mode after that. Let us inform you that a lunar day and night correspond to 14 days on Earth.
Chandrayaan 3’s Lander and Rover Face Harsh Lunar Conditions in Bid to Reawaken
Let us inform you that the lander and rover’s elevation must remain between 6 and 9 degrees from the Sun in order to obtain enough energy. Rover Pragyan began to nap a day before dusk because of this. The south pole of the moon’s temperature lowers to minus 240 degrees at night as well. Surviving on the lunar surface in this circumstance is a difficult undertaking. On the Moon, earthquakes also happen often. Chandrayaan 3 uses a lithium-ion battery, which is energy-efficient and does not degrade even at extremely cold temperatures. The lander and rover’s ability to wake up now relies on whether or not their batteries survived the night. Let us inform you that Rover Pragyan had made a significant finding regarding the presence of water on the Moon just before going to sleep. Elements like oxygen and sulphur were discovered by the rover here.
