"Awakening" is scheduled for September 22 The Indian Space Research Organization ISRO shared an update on how the Chandrayaan-3 mission to explore the Moon is progressing. This time it is reported that the lunar rover “Pragyan” (“knowledge”, “wisdom”) was put into sleep mode on the surface of the Earth’s natural satellite.

As noted in ISRO, the research equipment on board the lunar rover is turned off, the lunar rover receiver is left on, and research data is transmitted to Earth through the lander. The rover's battery is now fully charged and the solar panel is oriented to receive light at the next sunrise, which is expected on September 22, 2023. Indian rover "Pragyan" "fell asleep" on the moon A day earlier, ISRO published a message that the Pragyan had traveled more than 100 meters and was continuing to move.
