Lunar night looms over Shiv Shakti Point; Will Chandrayaan-3’s Pragyan Rover, Vikram Lander wake up?

[ad_1] In a big setback for ISRO, hope is fading fast for the revival of Chandrayaan-3 mission. While the mission has achieved all initial objectives, including landing on the Moon, it was hoped that through Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, it would be able to carry on further experiments on the lunar soil.

Since then, efforts to re-establish communication have yielded no results despite the return of sunlight to the Shiv Shakti Point. With the lunar night commencing on September 30, chances of revival have grown even slimmer.The lunar night, spanning approximately 14 Earth days, brings extreme cold and total darkness ...
