Chandrayaan-3 Mission Spotlight: Rover’s Impressive 4-Meter Camera

Chandrayaan-3’s Robust Rover: Featuring a 4-Meter Diameter Camera

The Pragyan rover of Chandrayaan-3 came across a 4-meter-diameter crater on the lunar surface on August 27, 2023. The crater was placed 3 meters ahead of the rover’s location. The rover retraced its path, which was retraced by the Chandrayyan-3, and is now safely heading to the new path. The Pragyan rover is still in the early stages of the mission. The Pragyan rover has made it work successfully, and it has recently deployed its solar panels and started exploring the lunar surface. The expectation that the Rover survives on the moon is for at least one year.

• The Pragyan Rover, part of the Chandrayyan-3 mission, came across the 4-meter-diameter crater on the lunar surface on August 27, 2023.

• The crater was positioned 3 meters ahead of the rover location, and the rover was commanded to retrace its path and safely head on the new path.

• The crater is small, and it is enough to pose a hazard to the rover. The 4-meter diameter crater is equivalent to 13.12 feet.

• The crater impact from meteoroids and the lunar surface is covered in craters of all sizes, from small ones to large ones, and the large ones have hundreds of kilometers in diameter. When objects from space strike the moon’s surface, the craters will be formed.

• The Rover navigation camera discovered the Crater. The Rover’s navigation camera discovers the crater, and the Rover controller decides on the rover’s retrace path because the crater can damage the rover’s wheels, which are other components of the rover, so it has the decision to retrace its path.

• The Rover Controllers are monitoring the situation and taking the necessary steps to ensure the safety of the rover.
