Chandrayaan-3's Pragyan Rover: Hope for Revival and New Threats

The Chairman of ISRO, S Somnath, stated that the Pragyan rover of Chandrayaan-3 has fallen asleep on the lunar surface, but there is still hope that it may wake up. The mission's objective of soft landing and data collection has been accomplished, but the rover's exposure to radiation and landing shakes may pose challenges for its recovery. ISRO is attempting to explore the scientific data collected through the mission, while efforts to establish communication with the rover and lander continue.
