Vikram lander and Pragyaan rover's activity on the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said on Thursday that Instrument for the Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) payload on Chandrayaan 3 lander has recorded the movements of rover and other payloads. Additionally, on August 26, 2023, the first micro electro mechanical systems technology-based instrument, ILSA has recorded an event, appearing to be a natural one, ISRO said on X, formerly Twitter. «The source of this event is under investigation,» the space agency added. ILSA, deployed on the lander, recorded these sounds as part of the in-situ experiments on the moon. The payload consists of a cluster of six high-sensitivity accelerometers, which are indigenously fabricated using the Silicon Micromachining process. «The core sensing element consists of a spring-mass system with comb-structured electrodes. External vibrations lead to a deflection of the spring, resulting in a change in capacitance which is converted into voltage,» ISRO explained. Further, ILSA's main objective is to measure vibrations on the ground which are generated by natural quakes, impacts, and artificial events. «The vibrations recorded during the rover's navigation on August 25, 2023, are depicted in the figure. Additionally, an event, seemingly natural, recorded on August 26, 2023, is also shown. The source of this event is currently under investigation,» ISRO said in a statement.
