Historic journey of Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon!!!
The lander, rover, and propulsion module that make up India's lunar lander have so far given the spacecraft all the thrust it needs to cross the 384,400-kilometer (238,855-mile) chasm that separates the moon from Earth. The lander, named Vikram, successfully executed the precise manoeuvres necessary to be expelled from the propulsion module and land gently on the lunar surdata-face. Nestled within is Pragyan, a compact six-wheeled rover that rolls down a ramp to release itself from the lander.
Packed with scientific instruments, the 1,700-kilogram (3,748-pound) lander and the 26-kilogram (57.3-pound) rover are ready to gather data to aid in the analysis of the lunar surdata-face and provide new perspectives on its composition. Dr. angela Marusiak, an assistant research professor at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory of the university of Arizona, expressed her excitement over the lunar lander's seismometer, which will try to identify earthquakes that occur deep within the moon.Future lunar surdata-face projects may benefit greatly from an understanding of the inner layers of the moon's movement, according to Marusiak. "You would want to ensure that astronauts would not be put in danger by any potential seismic activity," Marusiak stated. Or that any structures we erected on the moon would remain safe from any quakes. On the moon, the lander and rover should operate for roughly two weeks. As a relay station for data beaming back to Earth, the propulsion module will stay in orbit.
