While speaking on Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita Bills 2023 in Lok Sabha, BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur on December 20 supported the Bills and made a fiery speech in the Parliament. She also lambasted Congress and opposition leaders for opposing the Bills. The Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita bill seeks to replace the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, which is the principal law on criminal offence in India. The new bill adds community service as a form of punishment. The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha (Second) Sanhita, 2023 seeks to replace the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 (CrPC). The CrPC provides for the procedure for arrest, prosecution, and bail. The Bharatiya Sakshya (Second) Bill, 2023 (BSB2) replaces the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.

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.

The Vikram lander and Pragyan rover of Chandrayaan-3 are expected to reactivate on September 23. The lander and rover are currently in “sleep mode” near Moon’s South Pole after having completed their set tasks. SAC Director Nilesh Desai briefed about the further developments in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Also, the former Director of SAC said that the revival of Pragyan Rover will be a miracle for ISRO.

In a major development, ISRO announced that ‘Vikram lander’ of the Chandrayaan-3 mission has been set into sleep mode. This significant development took place at approximately 8 a.m. IST on September 04. ISRO said that the data collected by the payloads is received at the Earth and the Payloads are now switched off. Taking to X, ISRO informed that ‘Vikram’ will fall asleep next to Pragyan once the solar power is depleted and the battery is drained. Prior to that, in-situ experiments by ChaSTE, RAMBHA-LP, and ILSA payloads were performed at new location. On August 23, India took a giant leap as the Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on Moon’s south pole. Notably, India became the fourth country after the US, China, and USSR to have successfully landed on the Moon’s surface. Vikram Lander, Pragyan rover performed different set tasks on the lunar surface including finding the presence of sulphur, and recording relative temperature.

Chandrayaan-3’s rover Pragyan has been put into sleep mode now as it completed all its assignments. The rover has traversed over 100 metres on the Moon’s surface and now has been parked safely. ISRO on September 02 informed that the APXS and LIBS payloads have been turned off. 11 days ago, India scripted history after Lander Vikram’s safe ‘touchdown’ on Moon’s South Pole. Since then, Rover Pragyan and Lander Vikram have carried out several operations on the Moon’s surface. The temperature profile of the lunar topsoil was checked to understand the thermal behaviour of the Moon. After the success of the lunar mission, India has continued its space exploration with its solar mission Aditya-L1. On Sept 02, ISRO successfully launched its much-anticipated ‘Aditya-L1’ mission to the Sun from Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

Days after the successful soft landing of Chandaryaan 3, Pragyan rover has traversed over 100 meters. Taking to X, ISRO shared the information and said the rover traversed over 100 meters and continuing. Earlier on August 31, rover was seen rotating in search of a safe route on the surface of the moon. ISRO shared the first observation from the ChaSTE payload onboard Vikram Lander. ChaSTE measured the temp profile of lunar topsoil around the pole, to understand the thermal behaviour of moon’s surface. Notably, ISRO also launched its maiden solar mission ‘Aditya-L1’ from Sriharikota on September 02. ‘Aditya-L1’ is India’s first space-based Indian observatory mission to study the Sun. Spacecraft is carrying 7 payloads to observe the photosphere, chromosphere, and outermost layers of Sun. The total travel time from the launch pad to L1 will take about four months for ‘Aditya-L1’.

Under the Chandrayaan-3 Mission, rover's onboard instrument, known as Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy confirmed the presence of sulphur in the moon’s south pole. Chandrayaan-3 Mission, Director of the Space Applications Centre (SAC) Nilesh M. Desai explains the significance of sulphur on the moon. #sulphur #sulphuronmoon #chandrayaan3 #pragyanrover #vikramlander #isro #moon #space #science #oxygen

Days after the historic Chandrayaan-3 landing, Rover ‘Pragyan’ performed a stunning maneouver. Rover ‘Pragyan’ was seen rotating in search of a safe route on the surface of the moon. The rotation was captured by a high-resolution Imager Camera of Lander Vikram. Taking to X, ISRO cited it as “a child is playfully frolicking in the yards of Chandamama”. Earlier, ISRO shared the first observation from the ChaSTE payload onboard Vikram Lander. ChaSTE measured the temp profile of lunar topsoil around the pole, to understand thermal behaviour of Moon’s surface. In the history of space science, it was the first time that temp profiling is being done around south pole of moon.

In a significant development, ISRO on August 29 shared major update about the Chandrayaan-3 rover. As per ISRO, Rover's onboard instrument, known as Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy confirmed the presence of sulphur in the moon’s south pole Nilesh M Desai, a senior ISRO Scientist, also confirmed the thrilling news. On August 28, ISRO informed that Pragyan Rover came across a 4-meter diameter crater on the lunar surface. India took a giant leap on August 23, as the Chandrayaan-3 lander module successfully landed on the moon’s South Pole making it the first country to have achieved the historic feat. India became the fourth– after the US, China, and Russia – to have successfully landed on the moon’s surface.

In a major update on the Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO on Aug 28 informed that ‘Pragyan’ rover came across a 4-meter diameter crater on the lunar surface, 3-meters ahead of its location. Taking to X, ISRO informed that rover was commanded to retrace the path and now safely heading on a new path. Earlier today, ISRO also revealed the launch date of the much-anticipated Solar mission ‘Aditya-L1’. The launch of ‘Aditya-L1’ is scheduled for Sept 2, 2023 and is set to travel 1.5 million km from Earth. With never rest attitude, ISRO also measured the temperature profile of the lunar south pole’s topsoil. In the history of space science, this is the first time that temperature profiling is being done around the south pole of the Moon. Chandrayaan-3’s lander ‘Vikram’ completed its circuitous journey on August 23 and scripted a history. With this success, India has become the fourth country- after the US, China and USSR – to have successfully landed on the Moon’s surface.
