ISRO also released the image of the lander taken by Chandrayaan-2’s Orbiter High-Resolution Camera (OHRC) after it soft landed on the Moon’s surface.

The Vikram lander with the Pragyan rover in its belly touched down on the Moon’s surface “well within the area” identified for the purpose on Wednesday. A few hours after the landing, the 26 kg six-wheeled rover rolled out from the lander’s belly.

ISRO said on Thursday evening ” All activities are on schedule. All systems are normal. Lander Module payloads ILSA, RAMBHA, and ChaSTE are turned ON today. Rover mobility operations have commenced. SHAPE payload on the Propulsion Module was turned ON on Sunday.”

India on Wednesday scripted history as its third unmanned Moon mission’s lander module made a flawless soft landing, making it only the fourth country to achieve this feat and the first to reach the uncharted south pole of Earth’s natural satellite. (Maxim News)
