The Vikram lander astonished the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) with its successful “hop experiment,” according to a story in the Hindustan Times. The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft has accomplished all of its lunar mission goals.
It indicates that the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft once more made an impromptu landing on the Moon. Future moon expeditions may have additional chances thanks to the “hop experiment.” The main difficulty for “Vikram and Pragyan” was to resume their mission after surviving the icy -200 degrees Celsius. The modules thought to be capable of reviving and continuing their mission to transmit data from the moon for the following fourteen days if the onboard instruments managed to withstand the cold temperature on the moon.
After landing, the Pragyan rover and the Vikram Lander each carried out a unique set of activities on the lunar surface. Sulfur present determined, and relative temperature noted. Pragyan covered a distance of more than 100 meters (330 feet), verifying the moon’s presence of sulfur, iron, oxygen, and other elements. With a combined mass of 1,752 kg, the lander and rover intended to explore the area for one lunar day (about 14 days on Earth).
The Chandrayaan-3 rover and lander modules placed to sleep after performing tests on the moon from August 23 to September 4 in an effort to withstand the extremely chilly environment near the south pole of the moon. After the lunar night had begun on September 2, both the lander Vikram and the rover Pragyan “safely parked” and switched to sleep mode. According to specifics, one day on the Moon corresponds to 14 days on Earth.
