The Chandrayaan-3 project is nearing the end of its intended exploration phase, which lasts one lunar day or 14 days on Earth. According to reports, the lunar night is quickly approaching. This is when temperatures are predicted to drop below -200 degrees Celsius.An image of the Pragyan rovers journey as part of the lunar exploration project was released by ISRO.Chandrayaan-3 Mission:🏏Pragyan 100*Meanwhile, over the Moon, Pragan Rover has traversed over 100 meters and continuing. pic.twitter.com/J1jR3rP6CZ— ISRO (@isro) September 2, 2023 S. Somanath, head of the Indian Space Agency, stated that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is getting ready to start a sleep mode operation for the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover. He added, “The Pragyan rover and Vikram lander are still functional. We are commencing the process of placing both into sleep mode in the next one to two days as they need to tolerate the lunar night,” Somanath said while delivering a congratulatory message after the successful launch of the Aditya L1 sun mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.He added that the rover has travelled from the lander a distance of about 100 meters.Data from the Chandrayaan-3 missions in-space experiments has been made available by ISRO. The Indian space agency recently reported that the Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) payload had captured an event that “appeared to be a natural one,” adding that the source of the event is being looked into.Sulphur and other minor elements on the lunar surface had already been effectively discovered by the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectroscope (APXS).The sulphur has already been verified by the rovers Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) sensor, contributing to our developing understanding of the makeup and features of the moon.Chandrayaan-3 Mission:In-situ scientific experiments continue …..Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) instrument onboard the Rover unambiguously confirms the presence of Sulphur (S) in the lunar surface near the south pole, through first-ever in-situ measurements.… pic.twitter.com/vDQmByWcSL— ISRO (@isro) August 29, 2023
