Somanath expressed confidence in \u200dthe condition of the lander and rover, \u200dstating\u2063 that &#8220;both are working very well,&#8221; although the experiments \u200care yet to commence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll activities are \u200con schedule. All systems are normal,\u201d ISRO posted on X, formerly Twitter. \u201cRover mobility operations have commenced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rover, named &#8220;Pragyan,&#8221; is equipped with two instruments for\u200b conducting element and chemical composition \u200bexperiments, as well as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/indias-chandrayaan-3-rover-rolls-onto-moons-surface-braces-for-new-challenges\/\" title=\"India's Chandrayaan-3 rover lands on moon, prepares for fresh obstacles.\">robotic path planning exercise<\/a> for future exploration.<\/p>\n<p>Chandrayaan, meaning &#8220;moon vehicle&#8221; in Hindi and Sanskrit, is \u200cexpected to remain operational for two weeks, or one lunar day, which\u2064 is the duration its solar-powered \u200bequipment is designed to last.<\/p>\n<h3>Possible Challenges<\/h3>\n<p>Somanath highlighted the potential challenges\u2062 that ISRO may encounter on the moon&#8217;s surface, particularly\u200b with regards to lunar dust and\u2064 extreme temperatures that could impact the rover&#8217;s\u2064 moving \u200dparts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mechanisms, the moving items\u2026can get entangled \u2064with the dust there. It can\u200c get into\u200d the moving parts and jam them, the bearings of the system may not work, the motors \u200cmay not work,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Lunar dust differs from the \u2062dust found on Earth, and in the absence of air on the moon, it could adhere to the rover&#8217;s \u200dmaterials, affecting its operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll this creates problems in those mechanisms\u2026so let us see how it goes,\u201d the scientist said. \u201cWe will face it\u2026that\u2019s why we are exploring. If everything is known, what is the fun in doing it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Accomplished with a budget of about\u200d 6.15 \u2063billion rupees ($75 million), this marks India&#8217;s second attempt\u2063 to land on the moon. The\u200b previous mission, Chandrayaan-2, successfully deployed an orbiter but experienced a \u2063crash landing.<\/p>\n<p>The moon&#8217;s rugged south\u200d pole is of great interest due to its potential reserves of water ice, which \u200bcould serve as a \u2064valuable resource for future missions in terms of fuel, oxygen, and \u2062drinking water. However,\u200c the challenging terrain makes landing a complex \u200bendeavor.<\/p>\n<h3>Celebrations<\/h3>\n<p>The entire \u200dnation\u200c eagerly watched the landing, with nearly 7 million people tuning in to the YouTube \u200dlive stream alone.<\/p>\n<p>Prayers were held at places of worship, and schools organized live screenings for students to witness this historic moment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition \u200dto\u2063 elevating India&#8217;s status\u200c as\u200d a space power \u200band its reputation \u200cfor cost-effective space engineering, the successful landing is a source of immense national pride.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister \u200cNarendra Modi expressed his gratitude for the congratulatory messages he received, emphasizing that the achievement belongs to all of humanity, \u200bnot just one country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a matter of\u2062 pride and a pat on the back for Indian scientists,\u201d Modi said at the BRICS summit in \u2063Johannesburg on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Indian\u200b newspapers featured\u2064 banner headlines such as &#8220;The Moon is Indian,&#8221;\u200d &#8220;India Goes Where No \u200dNation&#8217;s Gone Before,&#8221;\u200b and &#8220;India Lights Up\u2063 the \u200cDark Side\u200d of the Moon,&#8221; highlighting the significance of this lunar \u2063landing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLunar landing is the most significant Indian scientific achievement,\u201d the Times of India stated in an editorial.<\/p>\n<p>($1 =\u200c 82.4610 Indian rupees)<\/p>\n<p>  (Reporting by YP Rajesh and Sakshi Dayal; Editing \u2062by Gerry \u2064Doyle, \u200bToby Chopra and Bernadette Baum)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/indias-chandrayaan-3-rover-rolls\/attachment\/people-and-supporters-of-indias-ruling-bharatiya-janata-party-bjp\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/indias-chandrayaan-3-rover-rolls\/attachment\/people-watch-a-live-stream-of-chandrayaan-3-spacecrafts-landing-on-2\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>This week\u2062 has been filled With\u2063 major headlines in the U.S. and around the world.
