Aug 23, 2024
The Chandrayaan-3 mission consisted of a Vikram Lander, Pragyan Rover, and a propulsion module (PM). The lander soft-landed on 23 August 2023 at the southern high latitudes on the Moon. Post-landing, the rover moved around the landing site and covered ~101m distance. All the payloads on the Lander, Rover and Propulsion module were operated and collected in-situ data pertaining to seismicity, thermo-physical properties, plasma environment and elemental composition of the landing region.
Indian Space Science Data Center (ISSDC) is the nodal center for archiving planetary missions' data of ISRO. The Chandrayaan-3 data are available in Planetary Data System-4 (PDS4) standard and are peer reviewed for sharing with global scientific community and general public.
Today, on the occasion of National Space Day - 2024, the science datasets are released to public by the Honb'le MoS (Space) Dr. Jitendra Singh at New Delhi.
Chandrayaan-3 datasets are now available on PRADAN (Policy based data Retrieval, Analytics, Dissemination And Notification system) which is a browse and dissemination web application, designed by ISSDC to disseminate Chandrayaan data to the scientific community.
Users of the scientific data may register themselves and access and browse the data from PRADAN portal of ISSDC. Refer URL: https://pradan.issdc.gov.in/ch3/
