The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced a one-day delay in their attempt to revive the Pragyan rover and Vikram lander of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. Originally planned for September 22 evening, the reactivation will now occur on September 23 as per ISRO's Nilesh Desai. The rover and lander had successfully landed on the moon in August and conducted experiments before entering sleep mode this month. While the rover traversed over 100m, below the 350m target, the mission achieved key objectives including a lunar hop test. If the dormant spacecraft components recharge as intended, the mission may get extended to gather more lunar samples.
