Chandrayaan-3's Rover and Lander were put in sleep mode for the lunar night, which is equal to around 14 days on Earth
New Delhi: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been trying to restore communication with Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander and Pragyan rover after the two were put to sleep earlier this month.
ISRO, on September 2, announced in a post on X ( formerly Twitter) that the Pragyan rover had completed all its assignment on the Moon and was now “parked safely and set into sleep mode”.
“APXS and LIBS payloads are turned off. Data from these payloads is transmitted to the Earth via the Lander. Currently, the battery is fully charged. The solar panel is oriented to receive the light at the next sunrise expected on September 22, 2023. The receiver is kept on,” the space agency said.
What Happens If Chandrayaan-3 Rover, Lander Don't Wake Up?
At the time of putting the lander and rover to sleep, the ISRO had said that if the two don't wake up, they will “forever stay there as India's lunar ambassador”.
“Hoping for a successful awakening for another set of assignments! Else, it will forever stay there as India's lunar ambassador,” wrote the space agency.
On September 22, when the lunar sunrise was expected, the ISRO shared it tried to establish contact with the rover and lander, but in vain.

BIG CRACKDOWN ON KHALISTANI TERRORIST WHO THREATENED HINDUS IN CANADA
Acting against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Khalistani terrorist and head of the banned separatist organisation Sikhs for Justice, the National Investigation Agency today seized his house in Punjab's Chandigarh and confiscated land owned by him in Amritsar. Pannun faces 22 criminal cases in Punjab, including three of sedition.
The confiscated properties include 46 Kanal of agricultural property in his ancestral village, Khankot, located on the outskirts of Amritsar district. Another property, house no 2033 in Sector 15-C, Chandigarh, has also been seized. Pannu, the self-styled General Counsel of the outlawed Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), has now lost rights to the property, and it now belongs to the government. In 2020, his properties were attached, which meant he could not sell the property.
"The action, which comes as a big boost to the country's crackdown on the terror and secessionist network being operated from various countries, including Canada, followed confiscation orders passed by the NIA Special Court, SAS Nagar, Mohali," NIA said in a statement.
He had recently threatened Indo-Canadian Hindus to leave the country and return to India.
