After the successful landing of the Vikram Module, it will conduct comprehensive systems checks and diagnostics. It will then prepare the Pragyaan Rover for deployment on the lunar surface, enabling the rover to carry out its tasks of collecting data and acquiring samples.
During its 14-day mission, the Pragyaan Rover will diligently explore the Moon’s terrain, carefully analyzing its surface for signs of water ice, helium-3, and other essential elements.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission, developed at a cost of slightly over Rs 600 crore, holds significant importance not only for India’s future space endeavors but also for global scientific exploration. The results of Chandrayaan-3’s experiments will play a pivotal role in determining the feasibility of establishing a launch station for interplanetary missions on the Moon.
Furthermore, the insights gained from Chandrayaan-3’s investigations will illuminate the Moon’s potential as a valuable resource for advancing our clean energy goals. Scientists believe that Helium-3 (He-3), a potential source of abundant clean energy, could have a transformative impact on global efforts to achieve ambitious clean energy targets.
