Chandrayaan-3: ISRO to attempt to wake up Vikram lander and Pragyan rover on September 22

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for an exciting phase in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The ground stations are preparing to awaken the mission’s lander and rover modules, Vikram and Pragyan, from their sleep in the Moon’s extremely cold atmosphere. The lander and rover were designed with a mission life of just 14 Earth days, but ISRO is hoping to revive them. If they wake up fully functional, they can continue to work for another 14 Earth days, enabling scientists to gather even more information about the lunar surface.
