Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Monday informed that Pragyan Rover came across a 4-meter diameter crater on the lunar surface yesterday.
Taking to X (former Twitter), ISRO said,”Chandrayaan-3 Mission: On August 27, 2023, the Rover came across a 4-meter diameter crater positioned 3 meters ahead of its location. The Rover was commanded to retrace the path.”
ISRO said that the rover is now safely heading on a new path.
Earlier Nilesh M Desai, Director, Space Applications Centre (SAC) on Sunday said that the Chandrayaan-3’s rover module Pragyan, moving on the surface of the moon, is in a “race against time” and that the ISRO scientists are working to cover a maximum distance of the uncharted South pole through the six-wheeled rover.
