Chandrayaan-3’s Rover Pragyan and Lander vikram are collecting scientific data from the moon and sending it to
Earth. Almost half of the 14-day mission has been completed. There will definitely be a question in everyone’s
mind that even after 14 days, will vikram and Pragyan continue to work. M. Srikanth, who was a part of the
Chandrayaan-3 mission, has given the answer. He has expressed the possibility that after 14 days of nights, when
the sun rises again on the moon, Chandrayaan-3 can work again.
According to the Times of india report, the sun came out on the moon on august 23 and there will be sunlight for
14 days. Till then Pragyan and vikram will also continue to work, but as soon as the sun sets and the night begins,
both of them will become inactive. However, after 14 days of nights, when the sun rises again, Pragyan and
vikram may get back to work.
"Our priority is to ensure that we collect as much scientific data as possible during one lunar day (14 Earth days),
when there is sunlight," Srikkanth said. Now for seven more days the rover and lander will work on the moon and
then they will stop working after the sun sets. We are sure that when the night ends and the sun shines, both of
them will become active again and if this happens then it will be good for us that more data can be collected. Even
if this does not happen, our mission will be accomplished.
