The ISRO said on Friday that an instrument on the Chandrayaan-3 lander has started serving as a location marker near the lunar south pole. Here s what the experiment was about and how could it prove crucial in future.
With the help of nuclear energy, the propulsion module of Chandrayaan-3 will continue to revolve around the Moon for the next several years. Chandrayaan 3 landed on the moon on August 23 this year.
The ISRO has been working to reestablish communication with the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover but despite their efforts, no signals had been received from the lunar explorers.
