"Exclusive Insights: The Enigmatic Chandrayaan 3 Photoshoot That Vanished - Decoding the Deleted Post

Bengaluru Update: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) took an unexpected move on Friday by swiftly removing a post on platform X (previously known as Twitter), featuring a captivating aerial snapshot of Chandrayaan 3. The intriguing image was reportedly captured by the Chandrayaan 2 orbiter, which has been diligently circling the moon. Mysterious as it is, ISRO's decision to wipe the post from platform X has left the public wondering about the motive behind it.

 

"I've got my eyes on you. Chandrayaan 2's orbiter captures stunning shots of Chandrayaan 3's lander! The high-resolution camera (OHRC) onboard Chandrayaan 2's orbiter, armed with the moon's best resolution so far, locks onto the Chandrayaan 3 lander after its historic touchdown..." read the now-deleted ISRO post on platform X.

 

The Vikram lander of Chandrayaan 3 gracefully descended upon the lunar surface on August 23, culminating a 40-day cosmic journey. Precisely at 6.04 pm on that day, the Vikram lander made an indelible mark on the moon's southern pole, solidifying India's distinction as the pioneer in lunar south pole landings. This landmark achievement catapulted India into the esteemed group of four nations that have proven their adeptness at soft moon landings.

 

On August 24, the Pragyan Rover embarked on its lunar exploration, venturing onto the moon's terrain. ISRO affirmed the smooth progress of all activities, confirming normal system functioning. Among the roster of payloads, the ILSA, RAMBHA, and ChaSTE payloads were activated in the Lander Module. Concurrently, the Rover initiated its mobility operations. The Propulsion Module's SHAPE payload was activated on the preceding Sunday, as per ISRO's latest update on the Chandrayaan 3 mission.

 

In the upcoming days, the Pragyan rover is slated to engage in a series of experiments on the moon's surface. Foremost on its agenda is the crucial task of identifying potential water reservoirs on the lunar expanse.
