ISRO announced that Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander once more accomplished a soft landing on the Moon in a Monday X (Twitter) post. Actually, Vikram Lander completed the Hope Test, also known as the Jump Test, successfully.
In response to this, Vikram Lander ignited its engine at the instruction of ISRO, lifted itself as planned by 40 cm, and then touched down again 30 to 40 cm away.
According to ISRO, this experiment will have a significant impact on future lander and human mission returns. After this experiment, Lander Vikram’s systems are all operating normally.
The payload on the lander was folded during the test by instructing ChaSTE and ILSA, and then redeployed after a soft landing. According to ISRO, the Chandrayaan-3 mission fared better than expected with this experiment.
The mission of Chandrayaan-3 is almost complete after it has achieved its objectives. In a statement, ISRO said that Pragyan Rover has completed its work and has been set to sleep mode.
