India's footprints on the surface of the moonPlease tell that on August 23, about 2.5 hours after the landing of Chandrayaan-3, Pragyan came out of the rover lander. But ISRO has released this video after two days. ISRO's rover is roaming on the moon and is continuously gathering important information. From 23rd to the next 14 days, the rover is roaming on the surface of the moon, testing and collecting data. Explain that as the Pragyan rover is moving forward on the surface of the moon, it is engraving the marks of the Ashoka Pillar, the symbol of ISRO and India, with its wheels.Rover came out after the dust settledOn August 23, about 2.5 hours after the landing of Chandrayaan-3, the Pragyan rover came out of the lander. But ISRO has released this video after two days. The rover was ejected from the Vikram lander after 2.5 hours as a lot of dust started flying around from the touchdown of the lander. The rover cannot be launched until the dust settles down. If the rover was ejected before the dust had settled on the moon, the complex cameras and highly sensitive sensors attached to it could have been damaged. The Moon's gravity is much less than Earth's gravity, so it takes hours for the dust to settle there.... ... and here is how the Chandrayaan-3 Rover ramped down from the Lander to the Lunar surface. pic.twitter.com/nEU8s1At0W
