India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, a significant milestone in lunar exploration, has achieved another remarkable feat. The Pragyan rover, part of the mission, has successfully traversed 100 metres on the Moon's surface. The Chandrayaan 3 mission is approaching the conclusion of its planned exploration period, which spans one lunar day equivalent to 14 Earth days. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is now preparing to initiate a "sleep mode" operation for the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover as the lunar night approaches, during which temperatures are expected to plummet below -200 degrees Celsius. #Chandrayaan3Launch #PragyanRover #VikramLander #PragyanRoverSleepMode #VikramLanderSleepMode #ISRO ~HT.99~ED.102~PR.152~GR.124~
