THE lunar mission is back in action.
After being in sleep mode for 15 days, the Chandrayaan-3 has resumed activities with the arrival of lunar light.
Scientists from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have been re-establishing contact with the mission’s Vikram lander and Pragyan rover.
Sunrise is important since it would provide heat for the lander and rover to perform.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission, which was launched on July 14 and arrived on the moon on August 23, has already achieved major milestones.
The main objective of the exploration is to determine whether the moon’s south pole holds frozen water that could sustain life.
The lunar night brought operations to a halt since the solar-powered vehicles’ batteries were not powerful enough to keep the systems going.
The availability of sunlight allows Chandrayaan-3 to resume its groundbreaking exploration.
