Pragyan rover will help identify elements present near landing site on the Moon's surface

Firstpost  

The rover will be tucked into the lander and will only come out when it’s safe after the soft landing. The three main modules of this mission include the Vikram lander, the Pragyan rover and an orbiter. The Chandrayaan-2 mission will have the distinction of being the first mission when ISRO would have sent a lander and rover on the lunar surface. Chandrayaan-1 found water on the Moon’s surface and the rover will now try to find if the water is present on the permanently shadowed parts of the Moon. Coming from the Laboratory for Electro Optic Systems in Bengaluru, LIBS’ main objective is to identify the elements that are present near the landing site.
