14. The Earth-Moon average distance is
roughly 384,400 kilometers. To save fuel,
Chandrayaan-3 has chosen a longer route
to the Moon. This adjusted path aims to
ensure a gentle landing of the mission's
Vikram lander on the Moon's South Pole
area. The expected timeline for this soft
touchdown is approximately 42 days after
launch, specifically around August 23 or 24.

19. Chandrayaan-3 Mission Success
The Chandrayaan-3 mission was a success,
and India became the first country in the
world to land a spacecraft on the Moon's
south pole. The lander, named Vikram,
touched down on the lunar surface at 18:04
IST (12:34 UTC) on August 23, 2023. The
rover, named Pragyan, will now explore the
lunar surface for the next 14 days.

20. After the Vikram lander successfully lands on
the Moon, it will wait for a while to let the
lunar dust settle. This is to prevent the rover
from getting stuck in the dust. After about 4
hours, the Pragyan rover will be released
from the lander and will begin its journey to
explore the lunar surface.

After Landing

21. The rover's rollout was delayed to let Moon
dust settle after the lander's touchdown.
Moon's weaker gravity makes dust clearance
slower, ensuring rover instrument protection
was ISRO's focus.
Rover's Rollout Delay

22. The Pragyan rover rolled out of the Vikram
lander on the Moon at approximately 12:30
AM IST on August 24, 2023. This was about 3
hours and 25 minutes after the Vikram lander
touched down on the lunar surface.

23. Pragyan is crafted to mark the national
emblem and ISRO's logo on the lunar surface.
It will traverse unexplored lunar terrain,
transmitting data and visuals after its landing.
Pragyan's Symbolic
Imprints

24. The Vikram lander and Pragyan rover will have a
mission life of one lunar day (about 14 Earth days).
During this time, they will conduct a variety of
scientific experiments, including studying the lunar
surface, the lunar atmosphere, and the lunar water
resources.
About 14 Earth Days

25. ChaSTE (Chandra's Surface Thermophysical
Experiment) measures lunar topsoil temperature near
the pole, using a 10 cm depth-capable probe with 10
sensors. The graph shows temperature variations at
various depths, marking the first profile for the lunar
south pole, with ongoing detailed observations.
First Observations From
The Chaste Payload

26. Chandrayaan-3 Rover's LIBS instrument achieved
the first in-situ measurements of the lunar south
pole, confirming the presence of Aluminum (Al),
Sulphur (S), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr),
Titanium (Ti), and later, manganese (Mn), silicon (Si),
and oxygen (O). Hydrogen investigation ongoing..
LIBS Confirms The
Presence Of Sulphur

27. APXS identified minor elements, including
Sulfur, alongside expected major ones like
Aluminum, Silicon, Calcium, and Iron. LIBS
also confirmed Sulfur's presence. Detailed
analysis is ongoing.

28. The RAMBHA-LP payload on the Chandrayaan-3
Lander has achieved a historic milestone by
conducting the first-ever measurements of the
lunar near-surface plasma environment in the
south polar region.

29. ISRO stated that the Instrument for Lunar
Seismic Activity (ILSA) on Chandrayaan 3 is the
moon's first Micro Electro Mechanical Systems
(MEMS) technology-based instrument. It has
captured vibrations from the Rover and other
payloads' movements.
ILSA Monitors
Landing Site Activity

30. In a significant update, the Indian Space Research
Organization (ISRO) has confirmed that the 'Vikram
Lander' was placed in sleep mode around 08 AM
(Indian Standard Time) on Monday. ISRO reported
that data from the payloads has been transmitted to
Earth, and the payloads are now powered off.
Sleep Mode

31. On September 2, the space organization
confirmed that Pragyan had finished its tasks
and was safely parked in sleep mode, with its
receiver active. ISRO further noted that Vikram
would enter sleep mode alongside Pragyan
once its solar power was depleted and the
battery was drained.
Why Sleep Mode?

32. Hop Experiment
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) reported on
Tuesday that the lander had executed a successful hop
experiment. Upon receiving the command, it initiated its engines,
achieving the expected elevation of approximately 40 cm, and
safely landed at a distance of 30–40 cm from its starting point.
After conducting the experiment, the ISRO reported that the
Ramp, ChaSTE, and ILSA were initially retracted and then
successfully redeployed.

33. This successful hop experiment and its
promising results could have a profound
impact on future lunar missions with the
primary goal of collecting moon samples,
as well as upcoming human expeditions
to our celestial neighbor.
Hop Experiment
Impacts

34. ISRO also shared that they anticipate the
next sunrise, which is expected to awaken
the equipment on September 22, 2023, and
they are hopeful for a successful restart to
undertake a new set of tasks.
Rover Wake Up

35. Conclusion Of
Chandrayaan 3
The success of Chandrayaan-3 is a major
milestone for India's space program and a
testament to the hard work and dedication
of the ISRO team. It also opens up new
possibilities for scientific research on the
Moon.
