Chandrayaan-3: ISRO's Share Vikram Lander In Sleep Mode Images

The Indian Space Agency had earlier reported that Chandrayaan’s module, the Vikram Lander, has been set into sleep mode at around 8 a.m. Indian Standard Time (IST) on Monday morning for the next fourteen days.
On Saturday, the Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) released captivating photographs of the Vikram lander, currently in a dormant state on the lunar South Pole.Vikram lander, which is now in sleep mode on the South Pole of the moon.
The photos are taken from the
moon’s orbit by Chandrayaan-2, where the module is stationed. On Wednesday, the
Dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DFSAR) instrument captured the image onboard the Chandrayaan 2 Orbiter.
"DFSAR state-of-the-art instrument provides the highest resolution polarimetric images currently available in any planetary mission,” ISRO said.
Around 22 September, ISRO will assess the functionality of the
Vikram Lander and
Pragyan. On the moon's lunar nights,
temperatures plummet to as low as -150 degrees Celsius, raising concerns about the lander's ability to withstand such extreme cold.
The Chandrayaan-2 mission, launched in 2019, shared a similar objective with Chandrayaan-3. Unfortunately, during an attempted soft landing on the moon, the lander crashed.
Nevertheless, the orbiter remains fully operational and now
plays a vital role in supporting the third lunar mission. It assists in
landing procedures and enables two-way communication for the Vikram lander to connect with ground stations.
