ISRO’s message read : A two segment ramp facilitated the roll down of the rover and the SOLAR PANEL enabled the rover to generate power. It added : Here is the rapid deployment of the ramp and solar panel took place, prior to the roll down of rover.

THE TRUE HEROES OF ISRO CHANDRAYAAN MISSIONS
The prime minister is going to Bengaluru ISRO space centre to personally congratulate each and every scientist on the global success of the soft landing of Chandrayaan 3 at South Pole of Moon being the only country to achieve this outstanding record.
According to the latest news the Bengaluru traffic police will be keeping the route of PM’s cavalcade free of any traffic from early morning 4.30 AM till 9.30 AM and PM Narendra Modi will be given a rousing welcome at HAL airport where all the arrangements are in progress.
Kindly recall that this is the third attempt of Chandrayaan 3 that proved successful by landing at South Pole. In 2019, though the Moon vehicle had successfully entered the orbit but it got crashed while landing and prime minister Narendra Modi who was personally present to boost the morale of the space scientists and technocrats viewing the entire operation from being in their midst had embarrassed and cajoled the then ISRO chief K. Sivan who was literally crying on the failure of the landing of moon vehicle 2 on 22 July, 2019.
The Chandrayaan mission 2 could succeed because of a minor error in 2019 in the presence of prime minister at the space centre. However, on the success of Chandrayan 3’s soft landing in Moon’s South Pole , former ISRO chairman Sivan said he is extremely thrilled and happy to see the successful soft landing of Chandrayaan 3 on the South Pole of the Moon congratulating the ISRO chief Somnath and his entire team of dedicated scientists.
