The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Friday shared a video showing the deployment of the ramp and solar panel on the surface of the Moon prior to the rolldown of the Chandrayaan-3 Rover from the Lander.
“A two-segment ramp facilitated the roll-down of the rover. A solar panel enabled the rover to generate power. Here is how the rapid deployment of the ramp and solar panel took place, prior to the rolldown of the rover. The deployment mechanisms, totalling 26 in the Ch-3 mission, were developed at U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC)/ISRO, Bengaluru,” the Indian space agency wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Earlier today, ISRO released a video showing how the Chandrayaan-3 Rover ramped down from the Lander to the Lunar surface.
“All activities are on schedule. All systems are normal. Lander Module payloads ILSA, RAMBHA and ChaSTE are turned ON today. Rover mobility operations have commenced. SHAPE payload on the Propulsion Module was turned ON on Sunday (sic),” the space agency wrote on ‘X’.
