India has achieved a great milestone by accomplishing its Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully. People from all over the world are still keeping an eye on the Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover, even though they have accomplished all its objectives successfully. With this mission, various discoveries were made by ISRO. That is why Chandrayaan-3 has been in the news constantly since the day of its launch.

In a surprising turn of events, the Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved an unexpected milestone when the Vikram lander performed a hop experiment on the Moon's surface. In an interview with India Today, Project Director P Veeramuthuvel revealed that this experiment was totally unplanned and it exceeded the mission's objectives.

Chandrayaan-3, a mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), was initially designed to study various aspects of the lunar environment. The Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover conducted a series of experiments over 14 Earth days, providing a wealth of valuable data. However, as lunar night approached, the fate of the lander and rover remained uncertain.

During the unplanned hop experiment, the Vikram lander fired its engines as commanded, lifting itself approximately 40 centimeters above the lunar surface. It then safely landed about 30 to 40 centimeters away from its original location at Shiv Shakti Point. This successful maneuver demonstrated the Chandrayaan-3's capability to take off from the Moon's surface, paving the way for future missions that could potentially return lunar samples to India.The unexpected success of this maneuver has opened up exciting possibilities for future lunar exploration endeavors, including sample return missions and even human missions to the Moon.
