Pragyan does not clearly record National emblem on moon..!?

India's national emblem on its wheels was not clearly registered when the Pragyaan rover crawled on the lunar surface during the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission. The Chandrayaan-3 Pragyan rover has the indian national emblem and the isro logo engraved on its rear wheels. The rover was expected to record both symbols on the ground during the lunar landing and walk. However, it turns out that the two symbols were not registered as a clear imprint on the surface of the moon. Explaining this, the isro chief said that the rover's inability to imprint the symbols is a good sign and helps in understanding the characteristics of the lunar soil in the South Pole region.
Chandrayaan-3 collected new information about the soil of the south-polar region of the moon, which holds the possibility of finding water on the Moon. This information will be the basis for many future research projects. It will also be important for studies on the possibility of human habitation on the moon. This has given us a new understanding. We already know that the soil on the moon is different. But we need to figure out what makes it different. The soil on the surface of the moon is not dusty, but rather, it is dense. This means that something binds the soil there. At the same time, we can clearly see that the tracks have been formed where the rover moved. Near the landing site and where the rover operated, we see the rover's wheel tread. This suggests that the moon has loose soil enough for the lander's wheels to fit," says Anil Bharadwaj, director of the Physics Research Laboratory.The national emblem and isro logo emblazoned on the rover's rear wheels were developed by ISRO's Institute for Satellite Integration and Testing (ISAT).
