The Vikram lander and Pragyan rover were put in sleep mode on September 4 so they could survive the harsh weather of the lunar night.

The lunar night has been very challenging for the Moon lander due to the extreme cold of lower than -200 degrees.

Experts reported that the lunar night might have caused some malfunction in various lander systems due to which scientists are unable to communicate with them.

The time is running out for ISRO as the lunar night will come again and if the lander and rover do not wake up then it will be the end of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.

If scientists are able to wake them up, then, it will be a whole new journey of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
