00:00 Chandrayaan-3 rover Pragyan today shared an image of the lander Vikram, the first that
00:05 it has clicked using its navigation camera.
00:08 The picture is the first that the rover has clicked since landing on the moon.
00:12 Until now, all the photos and videos had been captured by Vikram.
00:16 The Indian Space Research Organisation said that the image of the mission was taken by
00:19 the navigation camera on board the rover NavCam.
00:24 The image shows Vikram lander perched on the surface of the moon.
00:27 CHASTE, Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment, which recently measured the temperature
00:32 profile of the lunar surface on the South Pole to understand the thermal behaviour of
00:36 the moon's surface, can also be seen in the picture sent over by the Pragyan rover.
00:41 Tweeting the picture is reced.
00:43 Smile please.
00:44 Pragyan rover clicked an image of Vikram lander this morning.
00:47 The image of the mission was taken by the navigation camera on board the rover.
00:51 NavCams for the Chandrayaan-3 mission are deployed by the Laboratory for Electro-Optics
00:56 Systems.
00:57 Not just sulphur, the Pragyan rover has also detected the presence of aluminium, calcium,
01:02 ferrous, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon and oxygen, the space agency said.
01:08 Search for hydrogen is underway, ISRO said.
01:12 ISRO announced it yesterday.
01:14 The laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument on board Chandrayaan-3 rover has
01:19 made the first ever in-situ measurements on the elemental composition of the lunar surface
01:23 near the South Pole.
01:25 These in-situ measurements confirm the presence of sulphur in the region unambiguously, something
01:30 that was not feasible by the instruments on board the orbiters, the space agency said
01:34 in a statement.
01:35 Chandrayaan-3 has captivated public attention since launching nearly six weeks ago in front
01:40 of thousands of cheering spectators, and its successful touchdown on the moon last week
01:44 came just days after a Russian lander crashed in the same region.
01:48 India became only the fourth country to achieve that feat, and the first to land on the uncharted
01:53 South Pole of Earth's nearest celestial neighbour.
