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 on board 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.
