Chandrayaan-3: Pragan Rover has traversed over 100 meters, says ISRO


In the latest update on the Chandrayaan 3, the ISRO on Saturday said that Pragan Rover has traversed over 100 meters. ISRO Chairman S Somanath said the lunar mission Chandrayaan 3's rover and lander are functioning well and they would be put to "sleep" soon to withstand the night on the Moon.

"The lander and rover, 'Vikram' and 'Pragyaan', respectively, were still functioning and "our team with scientific instruments are doing a lot of work now," he said and added, "The good news is that the rover has moved almost 100 metres from the lander and we are going to start the process of making both of them sleep in the coming one or two days because they have to withstand the night."
