The Indian Space Research Organisation on Friday postponed the plans to reactivate Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to September 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After Chandrayaan-3\u2019s Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover soft landing on the South Pole of the Moon on August 24, both Vikram and Pragyan functioned effectively for a duration of 14 Earth days. The Rover was put on sleep mode on September 2, while the Lander was on September 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were put on sleep mode for approximately 16 Earth days before the lunar night enveloped the south pole of the Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking on Chandrayaan-3\u2019s Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, Nilesh Desai, Director of Space Application Centre said that earlier we planned to reactivate the Pragyan Rover and Vikram Lander on the evening of September 22, but due to some reasons we will do it on September 23, said Desai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further said a plan to take out the Lander and Rover from the sleep mode and reactivate it, adding that, we had a plan to move the Rover to almost 300 to 350 metres but due to some reasons, the Rover has moved 105 metres there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
