The Gossip

The recent update from ISRO regarding the Chandrayaan-3 mission’s rover, Pragyan, confirming the presence of sulphur on the lunar region is quite interesting. ISRO’s official handle also caught attention with their poetic description of the rover’s rotation, comparing it to a child playfully frolicking in the yards of Chandamama while the mother watches affectionately. The video released by the space agency showcased an automated hinge mechanism rotating the APXS, aligning it with the lunar surface.

On August 25, Chandrayaan-3’s Rover descended from the Vikram lander and made its way to the lunar surface.
