The Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan-3, which entered the sleep mode on Monday, has been captured by the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter.

In the images shared by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the Vikram Lander can be seen resting on the lunar surface near the Moon’s South Pole, waiting for the sunrise.

ISRO on Saturday tweeted, captioning it, “Here is an image of the Chandrayaan-3 Lander taken by the Dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DFSAR) instrument onboard the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter on September 6, 2023.”

With this, ISRO scientists are expecting that Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to tolerate the instruments-freezing cold and start functioning when the Sun rises again on the Moon, expected around September 22.
