Watch How Pragyan Rover Rolled Down Ramp From Chandrayaan-3 Lander To Lunar Surface

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released a video showcasing the Chandrayaan-3 rover, Pragyaan, traversing the lunar terrain.

Accompanying the video in a tweet, ISRO stated, "...and here is how the Chandrayaan-3 Rover ramped down from the Lander to the Lunar surface."

On Wednesday evening, Chandrayaan-3 executed a flawless gentle touch-down on the lunar surface, marking India as the fourth nation to achieve a triumphant landing on the moon.

ISRO has revealed that the lunar surface poses novel challenges for the spacecraft, including the presence of lunar dust and varying temperatures, factors that could potentially influence the functionality of its moving components.

On Thursday, ISRO confirmed that the activities of Chandrayaan-3 remain on track, and all systems are functioning normally. The organization stated that the majority of payloads on Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander have been activated, the rover's mobility operations have commenced, and the SHAPE payload on the propulsion module is operational.

On August 23, Pragyan was deployed from Vikram, nearly four hours after Chandrayaan-3's successful landing. While Vikram serves as a stationary lander to conduct experiments, Pragyan will venture across the lunar surface, engaging in scientific tasks.

Vikram is equipped with four payloads: Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE), Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA), Radio Anatomy of Moon Bound Hypersensitive ionosphere and Atmosphere (RAMBHA) or Langmuir Probe (LP), and Laser Retroreflector Array (LRA). Except for LRA, all these payloads have been developed by ISRO. LRA is a NASA-developed instrument aimed at comprehending the dynamics of the Moon's system.
