NEW DELHI (Reuters) -The moon rover of India's Chandrayaan-3 exited the spacecraft on Thursday morning to begin its exploration of the lunar surface, the country's space agency said on messaging
Hours after ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 made a soft-landing on the Moon’s south pole, its rover Pragyan rolled out to do its job — study Moon's surface composition, measure seismic activity.
Apollo 11 marked 1st crewed moon landing, while Luna 16 brought back lunar soil to Earth before Chandrayaan-3 became first to safely land near lunar South Pole.
President Droupadi Murmu & PM Narendra Modi both congratulate the ISRO team. India becomes 4th country to soft land on Moon surface & 1st to land on its south pole.
Chandrayaan-3 became the first space mission to land near the south pole of the Moon. The attempt comes days after Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft spun out of control and crashed.
Chandrayaan-3’s lander module Vikram made the historic touchdown on the lunar surface at 6.04 pm, making India the first country to claim a southern pole landing.
Chandrayaan-3 is expected to remain functional for two weeks, running a series of experiments including a spectrometer analysis of the mineral composition of the lunar surface.
The claim that VB-GRAMG provides an employment guarantee is incorrect. The only guarantee is to 'empower' the Centre to allow partial implementation in notified areas alone.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
