Chandrayaan-3 Pragyan mission: Unravel The Mystery On The South Pole Of The Moon

India scripted history on 23 August 2023 as ISRO’s ambitious third Moon mission Chandrayaan-3 touched down on the lunar surface. Indians are as proud as peacocks. Making it only the fourth country to accomplish the feat and the first to reach the uncharted South Pole.

Since the rover Pragyan takes a walk on the moon's surface, different but enchanted and makes every moment notable by sending beautiful data from the Moon. Also, various observations have been made in pursuit of lunar secrets at the South Pole.

Union Minister of State for Space Jitendra Singh designed 'India's Space Missions which is cost-effective.

In a historic moment, India has managed to achieve what only three other countries have done before- successfully landing on the surface of the moon! The ISRO's moon craft, Chandrayaan-3 made a soft landing on the south polar region of the moon, marking a giant leap in India's space exploration journey. This achievement puts India on the global map as a pioneering nation in space exploration. What a monumental moment for the nation!

The rover is carrying an Indian flag and its wheels also have ISRO's logo and emblem embossed on them so that they leave imprints on the lunar soil during the moonwalk. What a monumental moment for the nation!

The path was retraced by the Chandrayaan-3 Rover on August 23, 2023.

Because India became the fourth country - after the US, China, and Russia - after completing its mission on the Moon’s surface. ISRO has continued to share videos and images of the Moon Vikram lander and Pragyan rover of Chandrayaan-3 frequently on social media platforms. The Pragyan rover has rolled over the surface of the moon for a distance of eight meters.

This is a more than a month mission at an estimated cost of over Rs600 crore. ISRO Chairman S Somnath said that India would next attempt a manned lunar mission.

On 23 August, at 6:04 PM (IST), the Chandrayaan-3's lander touched down close to the center of the 4.5-kilometer-wide area that had been targeted for the landing. The lander landed within 300 meters (985 feet) of that point. As per the ISRO chairman, rover Pragyan was on the move, and working "very well,"

Three objectives of the Chandrayaan Moon mission, two missions completed while the third is currently ongoing. After a Safe and Soft Landing on the Lunar Surface Rover roving on the moon is executed. Chandrayan-3 the third objective is roving on the moon.

I have complied with the few observations gathered regarding the Moon sent to the Earth:

1. One of the major mission’s goals is to hunt for water-based ice that could support human habitat on the Moon in the future.

2. The space agency shared an update saying that Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) payload onboard Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander measured the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil around the pole to understand the thermal behaviour of the Moon’s surface. According to the ISRO scientist, the temperature could be somewhere around 20 degrees centigrade a 30 degrees centigrade on the surface but it is 70 degrees centigrade. This is surprisingly higher than what we had expected.

3. Chandrayaan-3 Rover faced a problem as it came across a 4-meter diameter crater, ISRO then decided to command the Rover to retrace the path and informed that the Rover was now fast approaching a new path.

4. The Laser-included Breakdown Spectroscope instrument onboard ‘The Pragyan rover of Chandrayaan-3 doubtless the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface near the South Pole. The elements Pragyan are found on the Moon. Elements like Aluminum (AI), Calcium (CA), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), Titanium (Ti), Manganese (Mn), Silicon (SI), and Oxygen (O) are also detected. The space agency further added that the search for Hydrogen (H) is ongoing. Scientists have said that the rover is currently ahead of time with ISRO working to cover a maximum distance of the uncharted South Pole through the six-wheeled vehicle. A total of 14 days for this mission, which is equal to one day on the moon, so four days have been completed.

5. Remaining ten days, ISRO will put more effort and time into experiments and research that will be crucial for India. The process is in a race against it because in the remaining days. All ISRO scientists are doing maximum work to get astounding results. On the other side, Indians are waiting for the thrill will happen.

The Chandrayaan-2 lander's crash-landing site on the Moon's surface in 2019 will be named "Tiranga Point" by PM Modi. Additionally, August 23 will be observed as ‘National Space Day’ to celebrate the day when the Chandrayaan-3 lander successfully landed on the lunar surface. Let us all take pride in our nation's strides in space exploration.

In nutshell:

India is not the only country that can rover the South Pole—there is growing global interest in it, with many other missions headed to the lunar surface in the future> India is creating an ultimate story in the world.
