Submission + - Chandrayaan mission sleeps for the night

Geoffrey.landis writes: The sun has set in the south polar region of the moon where India's Chandrayaan-3 mission has landed, and the rover has switched off for the night. With luck from the moon gods, it will wake up with the sunrise in 14 days. But, even if not, mission accomplished! It was designed for fourteen days of operation, the daylight period. In that time the rover accomplished just over a hundred meters (American units: one football field) of traverse, examining and chemically analyzing the surface. Good work, India!
