Chandrayaan's Pragyan rover avoids 4m crater, safe path picked

Isro on Monday said that on August 27, Chandrayaan-3 rover Pragyan came across a 4-metre diameter crater positioned 3 metres ahead of its location, causing it to change its path. “The Rover was commanded to retrace the path. It’s now safely heading on a new path,” Isro said. This is the second crater Pragyan has encountered — it has successfully negotiated a small crater with a depth of approximately 100-mm earlier, as first reported by TOI in its August 28 edition.
