According to the BBC’s report, the Indian Center for Space Research (ISRO) shared the images taken a few hours after the Chandrayaan-3 space exploration vehicle landed on the Moon.
26 KG EXCAVATOR ON THE MOON SURFACE
The recordings include the moments when the panels on one side of Chandrayaan-3’s lander Vikram were opened, and the 26-kilogram Pragyaan wheeled reconnaissance vehicle, which means “wisdom” in Hindi, descended from the ramp to the lunar surface and moved for the first time.
Wandering between craters and lunar cliffs, collecting images and data, the Pragyaan rover will study the mineral presence on the Moon’s surface and the chemical composition of its “soil”.
It is planned that Pragyaan will transmit the collected data via Vikram to Chandrayaan-2, which is currently orbiting the Moon, and this data will be transmitted to ISRO via Chandrayaan-2.
INDIA WAS THE 4TH COUNTRY
With the successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 space probe, India became the fourth country after the United States, the former Soviet Union and China to make a soft landing on the Moon, and the first to make a “soft landing near the south pole” of the Moon.
The approximately 3.9-tonne Chandrayaan-3, consisting of landing platform and rover modules aimed at surveying the Moon’s surface, landed at the Moon’s south pole, an unexplored region that scientists believe may contain significant reserves of frozen water and precious elements. It was announced that he would be on duty. (AA)
