Chandrayaan-3, India’s ambitious lunar mission slept forever as Moon goes dark again. Scientists are hoping that they would be able to revive Vikram Lander, Pragyan Rover with the rise of the Sun on Sept 23 at the South Pole. However, after several attempts of trying to wake up them up, there was no response from Chandrayaan-3. Although, Scientists have not lost hope of the revival of Chandrayaan-3. Astronomer and Professor Dr RC Kapoor said that there is still 1 pc chance of lander and rover’s revival. However, the lander and rover have done their best and provided sufficient data to the ISRO. Both the lander and the rover were put into sleep mode on September 4 and 2 respectively. After a 40-day journey into space, Chandrayaan-3 made a ‘historic’ landing on August 23 at lunar South Pole making India the first country to do so.
