Meanwhile, the first output of the experiments being conducted by Chandrayaan-3 instruments has revealed that the temperature on the lunar surface drops rapidly with depth, at least near the south pole.
Putting out photographs of a crater and the imprint of the rover’s wheels on the lunar surface, ISRO said, “On August 27, 2023, the Rover came across a 4-metre diameter crater positioned 3 metres ahead of its location. The Rover was commanded to retrace the path. It’s now safely heading on a new path.”
