Chandrayaan-3: 10 days left for the mission, trying to run the rover as much as possible; scientists racing against time

Nilesh M Desai, director of the Space Applications Center Ahmedabad, said that there are 3 parts to the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Soft landing of the vehicle, launch of rover Pragyan from lander Vikram on the lunar surface and operation of seven instruments involved in the mission. Now the real work is going on under the third part. In this, various experiments are being done with the equipment, analysis and data is being collected. That’s why the rover has to be rotated on the lunar surface as much as possible, so that we can collect valuable data by doing maximum experiments. Scientists are also racing against time to get more done in the last 10 days of the mission.
