One scientist said,'Pragyan needs to be guided all the time.
The Pragyan rover, meanwhile, will have two instruments of its own.
Four hours after landing of the lander, the rover'Pragyan' will also come out of it.
Sarabhai, the founding father of space science research in India, and a rover named‘Pragyan', which means‘wisdom'.
It has three modules(a detachable self-contained unit of a spacecraft) namelyOrbiter,
Lander named Vikram and Rover named Pragyan.
Pragyan is the annual science and technology festival of the institute,
usually held in the month of January or February.
Since the‘Vikram' lander and‘Pragyan' rover are powered by solar energy,
they will be energised during this period by sunlight on the moon.
Now India is attempting a similar feat-
to land its rover Pragyan in the moon's South Polar region, attempted so far by none.
Also when we are coming back in
the Ranji Trophy after nearly 18 years, we need some experience apart from our captain Pragyan Ojha.
According to the Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO),
the lander Vikram and rover Pragyan were supposed to be functional only
for 14 days from the day of their touchdown.
After 90 minutes of resistance Muralitharan was
able to dismiss the last Indian batsman Pragyan Ojha on the last delivery of the final over of his Test career.
Chandrayaan-2's 27-kg robotic vehicle‘Pragyan‘, which translates to‘knowledge' in Sanskrit, can travel
up to 500 meters from the landing site on the moon and leverage solar power for its functioning.
The rover, called Pragyan, will examine the lunar surface,
search for water, and probe craters and traps that could untangle key questions about the history of the solar system.
Chandrayaan-2's 27-kg robotic vehicle'Pragyan', which translates to'wisdom' in Sanskrit, can travel
up to 500 metres from the landing spot on the Moon and leverages solar energy for its functioning.
The mission life of Chandrayaan-2's Orbiter will be one year whereas the mission life of lander(Vikram)
and rover(Pragyan) will be one Lunar
day which is equal to fourteen earth days.
The next crucial step will be the decoupling of the lander(Vikram) and the rover(Pragyan) from the orbiter,
followed by the soft-landing of the lander-rover in the early hours of September 7.
A scientist from Istrac said,"We will maintain such eyes for the next 62 days(about 48 days
to reach the moon and 14 days after Rover Pragyan's landing on the moon surface).".
Ashwin was selected for the tri-series against New Zealand and hosts Sri Lanka,
but did not get a game with Pragyan Ojha and Ravindra Jadeja being preferred over him throughout the series.
But scientists at Istrac will have to work with Rover Pragyan for the next 14 days because it will remain
a lunar day(equivalent to 14 days of the earth) on the moon's surface.
Vikram and lunar rover Pragyan, which is housed inside the lander,
were scheduled to operate for one lunar day(equal to 14 Earth days) and carry out a series of surface and sub-surface experiments.
Despite the postponement of the launch from July 16 owing to a technical
snag, the tweaked flight plan has ensured that the Pragyan robotic vehicle will have 14 earth days, or
one moon day, to explore.
