The rover lined a distance of about 103 meters on the lunar floor in a single lunar day.
Why is that this discovery particular
These outcomes can show to be an essential step in lunar exploration as they assist earlier research that recommend gradual thickening of rock fragments within the internal a part of the lunar regolith.

Many small and large craters close to the touchdown website
In keeping with the findings, when the Pragyan rover reached about 39 meters in the direction of the west of the touchdown website, Shiva Shakti Level, the quantity and dimension of rock fragments elevated. It stated {that a} potential supply of rock fragments may very well be a crater of about 10 meters in diameter. This was proposed in a analysis paper introduced on the Worldwide Convention on Planets, Exoplanets and Habitability in Ahmedabad earlier this 12 months.

How did Pragyan get stones
The stone fragments discovered by Pragyan on the moon vary in size from 1 centimeter to round 11.5 centimeters. These items of rock had been scattered on the edges, slopes and floor of small craters. Nonetheless, none of those rocks had been greater than 2 metres in size. Just lately, ISRO chief S Somanath had revealed that their subsequent moon mission is Chandrayaan-4, which will even carry again lunar pattern to Earth from the ‘Shiva Shakti’ level.
