Chandrayaan-3's lander and rover on the moon, ISRO is hoping that their mission life will not be limited to one lunar day or 14 earth days, and that they will come back to life when the sun again rises on the Moon, to carry on with the experiments and studies there. Following the deployment of the lander and rover, the systems on them are now ready to perform experiments one after the other so as to complete them within 14 earth days, before the pitch darkness and extreme cold weather engulfs the Moon. The lander (Vikram) touched down near the south pole of the Moon at 6.04 pm on Wednesday, successfully completing one of the Chandrayaan-3 mission's stated objectives of soft landing on lunar surface. Earlier today ISRO announced that the rover (Pragyan) rolled down from the lander, stating, "India took a walk on the Moon." ISRO had earlier said the 26 kg six-wheeled rover was scheduled to descend from the lander's belly on to the Moon's surface, using one of its side panels which acts as a ramp. The lander and rover — with a total mass of 1,752 kg — are designed to operate for one lunar daylight period (about 14 Earth days) to study the surroundings there. However, ISRO officials do not rule out the possibility of them coming back to life for another lunar day. Explaining what would happen after the lander's soft landing and deployment of the rover, ISRO Chairman S Somnath had earlier said, «After this, all the experiments (by payloads on lander and rover) will take place one after the other — all of which have to be completed in just one day on the Moon, which is 14 (Earth) days.» Noting that as long as the sun shines, all the systems will have its power, he said, «The moment the sun sets, everything will be in pitch

NEW DELHI : India on Wednesday carved its legacy in space history with the first soft-landing on the moon’s south pole, a tough terrain holding secrets that could one day aid human spacefarers. With this, the country joins the US, Russia and China, the world’s only other nations to have successfully landed on the lunar surface. Applause broke out at the command centre of the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) at 6:04pm as Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander module—named after Vikram Sarabhai, the father of space research in India—touched down on the south pole, where previous attempts have failed before.

Chandrayaan 3's soft-landing achieved, the rover module will now embark on its 14-day assignment to carry out the tasks mandated by the ISRO scientists.

Fulfilling the dream of 140 crore Indians, the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft on Wednesday touched down on the surface of the Moon after its 41-day odyssey. Chandrayaan-3 is the most ambitious project of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) so far. The task for the duo is cut out and there are multiple operations they will do once they reach the lunar south pole. The Lander has the capability to touch down at a specified lunar site and deploy the Rover which will carry out in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course of its mobility. The Lander and the Rover have scientific payloads to carry out experiments on the lunar surface.
