When will Chandrayaan 3’s Rover come out?
As per ISRO’s official statement, Prgayan Rover will roll out today between 9-10 PM. The speed of Pragyan Rover is very slow because it has to examine everything carefully. Pragyan Rover will examine the lunar surface for 1 Lunar Day, equivalent to 14 days on Earth. Simply put, Pragyan will be active for 14 days and collect crucial data from the lunar surface. The main objective of the Rover is to find water on the lunar surface because there may be huge frozen water resources in the Moon’s south region. As per ISRO chief, the Rover may last for more than 14 days under specific circumstances.
