Chandrayaan-3: Is there still hope for Pragyan and Vikram to wake up on the moon? It has been clarified by the space scientist Dr
Bangalore: There is no hope of reactivation of Chandrayaan-3's lander 'Vikram' and rover 'Pragyan'. A well-known space scientist said this on Friday, A space scientist has confirmed that there is no hope of reactivation of India's third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has said attempts to establish contact with the solar-powered ‘Vikram’ lander and ‘Pragyan’ rover are likely to be reactivated after the onset of the new lunar day. The probe currently has no signal from them and attempts toestablish contact will continue. India created history on August 23 by making a ‘soft landing’ on the Moon’s south polar region and became the first country in the world to do so. According to ISRO officials, the Chandrayan-3 mission has achieved all three objectives which include a safe'soft landing' on the lunar surface, demonstration of the lunar rover and scientific experiments on the moon surface. Dr Dr Dr Kiran Kumar also talked about the possibility of ISRO launching a mission to bring back samples from the Moon, but did not give a timeline for launching such a mission.

Bangalore: There is no hope of reactivation of Chandrayaan-3’s lander ‘Vikram’ and rover ‘Pragyan’. A well-known space scientist said this on Friday, signaling the possible end of India’s third lunar mission. Space Commission member and former ISRO chairman AS Kiran Kumar, who was actively associated with the mission, said, ‘No, no, now there is no hope of it being activated again. If it was meant to be, it should have been by now.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said on September 22 that attempts to establish contact with the solar-powered ‘Vikram’ lander and ‘Pragyan’ rover are likely to be reactivated after the onset of the new lunar day. The probe said it currently has no signal from them (the lander and the rover) and attempts to establish contact will continue.
With the Chandrayaan-3 mission, India created history on August 23 by making a ‘soft landing’ on the Moon’s south polar region and became the first country in the world to do so. With this, India became the fourth country in the world to successfully ‘soft land’ on the Moon after America, the then Soviet Union and China. ISRO put the lander and rover in sleep mode before nightfall on the moon on September 4 and 2 respectively, which were expected to be reactivated after sunrise on September 22.
The lander and rover were designed to operate for the duration of one lunar day (about 14 Earth days). According to ISRO officials, the Chandrayaan-3 mission has achieved all three objectives which include a safe ‘soft landing’ on the lunar surface, demonstration of the lunar rover and scientific experiments on the lunar surface. On the achievement of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, Kiran Kumar said, ‘In the larger sense, what you have definitely achieved is that you have reached an area (the South Pole) where no one else has. And there is no actual data on that area. received This is really very useful information. This will benefit subsequent expeditions in terms of knowledge and planning of activities you want to do in the area.’
He also talked about the possibility of ISRO launching a mission to bring back samples from the Moon, but did not give a timeline for launching such a mission. Kumar said, ‘Yes, there will definitely be all these in the future because these are all technological capabilities that you are developing, now that it (Chandrayaan-3) has achieved the ‘soft landing’ and its subsequent missions. The material will be sorted. From there get up and bring back, of course they will be all missions.
He said, ‘Many such issues will be worked on in the future. Based on a holistic approach to technology development, planning will be done and then recommendations will be made. “It totally depends on how the overall plan is developed and how many resources are made available, so it’s very difficult to say (the sample-return mission timeline),” Kumar said.
