Yet another day, and another update from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) as they shared another video of the Pragyan rover on the Moon being rotated in search of a safe route.

With harsh lunar night approaching at the Moon's south pole, which serves as the landing site for Chandrayaan 3, ISRO is diligently pursuing extensive exploration.

This effort is driven by the anticipation of temperatures plummeting below -200 degrees Celsius, significantly colder than the Indian lunar mission's tolerance threshold.

In the latest updates, the Indian space agency shared a new video depicting the Pragyan rover's endeavours as it traverses the lunar terrain, all while being closely monitored by the Vikram Lander.

The message accompanying the video on the social media platform X reads, “Chandrayaan-3 Mission: The rover was rotated in search of a safe route. The rotation was captured by a Lander Imager Camera. It feels as though a child is playfully frolicking in the yards of Chandamama, while the mother watches affectionately. Isn't it?” ISRO adorably used mother-child imagery and the term 'chandamama,' with which many Indians share a nostalgic connection, as the lunar mission progresses.

The presented video showcases the Pragyan rover skillfully navigating a safe path for lunar exploration. Unlike a fully automatic vehicle, the rover operates under the guidance of commands issued from ISRO's Mission Operations Complex (MOX), stationed at the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru.

While it cannot directly communicate via ground stations, the rover transmits signals to the lander, which possesses the capability to interface with MOX. Alternatively, the lander can relay data to the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter, which in turn transmits it to ISRO's ground stations.
