India has put its lunar rover, the first vehicle to land on the moon’s south pole, into standby mode after completing a two-week experiment period, the country’s space agency said.

The Pragyan spacecraft from the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft “has been put into standby mode” but its batteries are charged and its indicator is on, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said in a post on X late last night. Saturday.

“We hope for a successful awakening of a new series of missions!” ISRO said. “Otherwise, (the spacecraft) will remain there forever, as India’s ambassador to the moon.”
