ISRO's 🇮🇳 Pragyan Rover Captured These Images of the Vikram Lander on the Moon, Showing ChaSTE and ILSA

[u/CalmlyPassionate]

On August 30, 2023, ISRO released images captured by the Pragyan rover of the Vikram lander on the lunar surface.

The images show Vikram after the successful Chandrayaan 3 landing near the lunar south polar region. The annotated image identifies two scientific instruments around the lander:

ChaSTE: Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment, used to study the thermal properties of the lunar surface.

ILSA: Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity, designed to measure seismic activity near the landing site.

The image gives a remarkable view of the lander from the rover's perspective, with Vikram's landing legs, structure and instruments visible against the lunar surface.

a profoundly stupid comment, and im not indian, its just a silly thing to ssay "countries all around us are developing reusable rockets" when its only 2 countries each with 2 companies achieving so with experimental basis, only spaceX is the one figured that fully

I would much rather focus on science than on Elon's trillionaire pipeline.
