#CHANDRAYAAN_3 | Vikram Lander exceeded its mission objectives. It successfully underwent a hop experiment. On command, it fired the engines, elevated itself by about 40 cm as expected and landed safely at a distance of 30 – 40 cm away. This 'kick-start' enthuses future sample return and human missions by ISRO. All systems performed nominally and are healthy. Deployed Ramp, ChaSTE and ILSA were folded back and redeployed successfully after the experiment, informed by ISRO. #bongaigaontimes #ISRO
