Chandrayaan-3: Pragyan rover successfully travels 8 metres on lunar surface

Hindustan Times  

The Pragyan rover rolled out over the surface of the Moon and covered a distance of 8 metres, the Indian Space Research Organisation said on Friday, two days after the historic landing of the Chandrayaan-3. A solar panel enabled the rover to generate power.” Pragyan, roughly 92cm in length and 75cm in width, has on board two spectrometers that can analyse the composition of moon rocks and dust.x Officials from the department of space also confirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also scheduled to meet ISRO chief S Somanath and the team of Chandrayaan-3 scientists on Saturday, directly after returning from Athens. Senior officials of the space agency said that the Pragyan rover emerged from the lander around 10.30pm on Wednesday, around four hours after the lander successfully landed on the lunar surface. On Friday, the two rover payloads—Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope, deployed to study the qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis and to derive the chemical composition and infer mineralogical composition to further our understanding of lunar-surface, and Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer, to determine the elemental composition of lunar soil and rocks around the lunar landing site—were set to action.
