The document discusses the Vikram lander of the Chandrayaan-2 mission. Vikram was designed to soft land on the Moon and function for one lunar day (about 14 Earth days). It carried scientific instruments and the Pragyan rover. Though the initial landing attempt failed, NASA has since confirmed that Vikram remains on the lunar surface serving as a long-term location marker that will benefit future missions. The lander was named after Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, regarded as the father of India's space program.

2. VIKRAM LANDER
Introduction
 The Lander of Chandrayaan-2 was named Vikram after Dr
Vikram Sarabhai, the Father of the Indian Space Program.
 It was designed to function for one lunar day, which is
equivalent to about 14 Earth days.
 The Vikram lander was responsible for the soft landing on the
Moon.

3. FEATURES OF VIKRAM LANDER
 It is box-shaped, with four landing legs and four landing
thrusters capable of producing 800 newtons of thrust
each.
 It carried the rover and has various scientific instruments
to perform on-site analysis. One of the main reasons for
Chandrayaan-2's landing failure was altitude increase
during the camera coasting phase.

7. VIKRAM LANDER NOW
 NASA has confirmed that the Vikram lander is now serving as a
location marker on the Moon's South Pole. Chandrayaan-3, India's
ambitious lunar mission's lander, named Vikram is now serving as a
location marker on the Moon's South Pole, confirmed NASA.
 ISRO said the LRA onboard Vikram was designed to last for
decades. “NASA's LRA on Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander will
continue to serve as a long-term geodetic station and a location
marker on the lunar surface, benefitting current and future lunar
missions

8. BENEFITS OF VIKRAM LANDER
 It will continue to serve as a long-term geodetic station and a
location marker on the lunar surface, benefitting current and future
lunar missions.
 It has a mass of 1749.86 kg, including the Pragyan rover. There are
four scientific payloads in the Vikram lander. Radio Anatomy of
Moon Bound Hypersensitive Ionosphere and Atmosphere
(RAMBHA) will measure the near-surface plasma (ions and
electrons) density and its changes with time.

9. SUCCESSFUL LANDING
 The Vikram lander, which made a historic landing on the Moon's
surface on August 23, was designed to study various aspects of the
lunar environment. The lander and the Pragyan rover performed
various experiments in 14 Earth days (one lunar day) before pitch
darkness and frigid weather engulfed the lunar surface

I hereby thank everyone who took some time from
their schedule to read my presentation regarding the
Vikram Rover.
