New Delhi: ISRO has unveiled a fresh video showcasing its Rover in action. This operational footage highlights the rover’s activity on the lunar surface. Released through X (formerly known as Twitter), the video portrays the rover’s ongoing efforts to navigate a secure path. The video clip was captured by the lander’s camera. The accompanying caption likens the rover’s presence on the moon to that of a child, while the lander assumes the role of an affectionate mother observing its actions.
Additionally, the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectroscope, an instrumental component designed for scientific investigations on the rover, has confirmed the presence of sulphur. This development has also unveiled the detection of other elemental components. In light of these findings, Chandrayaan’s mission urges scientists to delve into a comprehensive study to determine the source of the sulphur—whether it arises from internal lunar mechanisms, volcanic activities, or meteoritic impacts.
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.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission update:
In-situ Scientific Experiments
Another instrument onboard the Rover confirms the presence of Sulphur (S) in the region, through another technique.The Alpha Particle X-ray Spectroscope (APXS) has detected S, as well as other minor elements.
